Rogers
My
brick wall is my ggg-grandfather Hill M. Rogers. He was on the 1880 Nacogdoches census with wife Harriett and four
sons, William, Diedie ?, Peyton and Charles.
He was also listed on the 1870 census of Angelina County, Texas with
wife Anne and two daughters, Zula and Mattie.
Hill M. Rogers was born somewhere in Ga ca.
1834. The last reference I can find of
him was on the 1910 Upshur County census where he is living with the family of
J.D. Watson. He was listed as an
Uncle. That census also states Hill’s
father was born in S.C.
My greatgrandfather was
Peyton R. Rogers. He ran away from home
c. 1890 near Daingerfield, Texas. He
never saw his real family again. He
always said he was part Cherokee Indian and the reason he ran away from home
was because his mother died and his Dad remarried. The step-mom was “mean to him.”
This may account for the two wives of Hill Rogers. All census records Hill, his wives, and his
children as white.
I do not know the last names of either of his wives
nor do I know anything of the children other thatn Peyton. I did find the names of the four boys in the
book “Nacogdoches, Gateway to Texas, Vol.2” but it appears they were taken from
the census. The name “Diedie” was very
hard to read. It may or may not be
correct.
I am looking for ANYTHING. Burial sites of any of the elusive Rogers. Last names of Harriet and Ann. And any descendants of any of the Rogers
children. I have full dependency charts
of Peyton and I will share any information that I have.
By the way, Peyton the runaway, was found by some
fishermen on Big Cypress Bayou and he was raised by Wingate Henry Truitt of Dangerfield,
Texas. He eventually married Nancy Ora
Truitt, one of Wingate’s daughters. All
of these people are buried in the Greenwood Cemetery in Wise County, Texas. Del Daniel at delbertd@ix.netcom.com

exist! I am interested in your BENTLEY's.I'm descended from Willis Larkin
BENTLEY(1816GA-1871TX) married to Ann DAVIS(1813 GA-1880TX). Their daughter
Rachel Argent BENTLET(1851GA-1925TX) married Jessie Laurie

William Albert ROGERS(1867TX-1928TX)
My father Willie Laurie ROGERS(1905TX-1954TX) was their son.
Does any of this sound familiar? Let me know please. Karen Sue ROGERS Houston
