Notes for Elder William "Billy" Rogers
Wm. was known far
and wide as "Elder Billy", being ordained in October 1834. In the 40 years he was a minister, he
baptized 2052 people. He sired 22
children, with 14 reaching adulthood.
At his death on 8 Jan 1869, he had 207 grandchildren.
Mart Williams
remembered Elder William Rogers ability to hold his audience's attention. He
also told how he would bring his gun (protection from the animals) to
church. Billy had long, flowing, white
hair and wore a heavy shawl in winter.
William had
little formal education. He could not
read or write until his young wife, Abby, taught him. Abby was 13 when she married; Billy was almost 17. A famous sermon Wm. used compared the Old
and New Testiment with a long rifle. He
said you needed both parts of the Bible like you needed both the front and hind
sight on your rifle.
Wm. preached
along the Three Forks of the Kentucky River. Wm. impressed Elder Samuel Rogers
so much that he devoted several paragraphs to him in his book, "The Toils
and Struggles of Olden Times".
Wm. and Abigail are buried at Mountain Springs Cem, Estill Co, Ky. Wm's stone stands silently in the cemetery
lot. Revelation 14:13 is a reminder of
all his work: "And I heard a voice
from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord
from henceforth: Yea, sayeth the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours;
and their works do follow them."

him." They called off the
wedding. She later married George Acon
