Hello Elle,
There are 3 family trees on rootsweb with Goolsberry Rogers.
The one with Kathy with the Alabama Gen Web 3 who you have contacted;
another contact ******** address and the tree title is Was
Your Great Grandmother an Indian?, and as this contact is Hello, I would not
bother to make another contact.
If I was guessing, I believe the Alabama Gen Web 3 got their
information from the 3rd rootsweb tree.
The 3rd rootweb tree is better, no special Alabama Gen Web 3
Indian group here. I would make a contact with this submitter Kim.
Database: Stainbrook
Tree Name: Kerr/Stainbrook Family
Last updated: 5 May 2011
Contact: Kim at ********
Goolsberry Rogers born 15 June 1819 Gerrard County, Kentucky
and died 12 June 1855
and on 15 Dec 1840 in Marion County, Indiana married Martha
"Patsy" Hogland born 18 June 1823 Perry Township, Marion County, Indiana and
died after the 1900 US census Hensley Township, Johnson County, Indiana.
Note: This tree follows the Hogland line.
and had 5 children:
1. Elizabeth C. Rogers born about 1841
2. James H. Rogers born about 1842
3. William Thomas Rogers born March 1845 Indiana and married
and had the 3 children twins Sanford C. and Hanford C. Rogers born Jan 1873
in Indiana and daughter June Rogers born about 1874 in Indiana. This tree
follows Hanford C. Rogers who married Effie and had 4 children including an
Eldon C. Rogers born about 1899 in Indiana and Hanford died after the 1930
US Census in Marion County, Indiana.
4. John J. Rogers born about 1846
5. George W. Rogers born about 1849

Hello Elle,
Rootsweb is where you use a
gedcom to place a family tree. I have
several of my family trees on rootsweb,
especially my "grosscup1674 IL Bobbitt from
Suffolk County, England; Ironside and Reid
from Aberdeenshire, Scotland; and Robert
Philson in PA" tree. See
keithbobbitt.com. Keith has his and my
tree rootsweb hyperlink.
I like rootsweb because it
shows all of your notes. And you can update
or correct your tree anytime you want with a
gedcom.
Cherokee Connections is the
name of the tree. Spirit Walks Tall is the
sub caption, and what I sent you is what is
on the tree. The email address belongs to
the person who submitted the family tree.
Would you like to email this address or
would you like me to in order to see how
this person connects with your Goolsberry
Rogers?
To see this tree, google
rootsweb. Then in the rootsweb name area
type in Goolsberry Rogers.
Elle, this gives me another
idea. Set up a free account with rootsweb
and submit your tree which has your notes.
Regards,
Marsha

Hello Eileen,
I have encountered different dates and places for Goolsberry
Rogers born 15 June 1819 and his wife Martha Hoagland, and Travis Rogers's
wife would be Elizabeth Childers to be the mother of Goolsberry as his 1st
wife Peggy Adams died in 1806, so I have updated the ROGERS for ELLE EDDY
gedcom PAF5.2.
This is our agenda for our meeting. We will work with Elle
and a rootsweb submitter Kim on this, as they differ on dates and places for
Goolsberry Rogers.
Tomorrow morning at 10 am is coming fast. Eileen, I hope you
have been reading the emails to Elle.
This gedcom is on our Berry family web site.

Marsha

Well, I’m not surprised you’ve found different dates for Goolsberry
(Goolsbury). Guess which of Travis’ wives is his mother depends on when
the first one died. Think I went with Betsey because of the dates. Also
think one of the reasons I went with wife #2 was because of her father’s
name.
My email to Kathy at the AlabamaGenWeb3 address came back as
undeliverable. I’ll check out Kim @ the hot mail address and look at his
posting on rootweb. I read somewhere that “Patsy” was a common nickname
for Martha. I have no actual proof who Goolsberry’s parents were. I
think Indiana is one of the states that don’t require parents names on
the wedding license so finding it in Marion County (Indianapolis) may
not tell us much.
I’m going to scan the Rogers documents I have. I plan to scan them into
Picasa and email them. That should work, right Keith???
I just got off the phone with Terry Bobbit. He said way back when the
talked to some Bobbitts who live in Kansas --- could be Susan’s family!
“Goolsberry” is looking better and better as a name to search! And then
George married a “Canatsey” another relatively easy name to find.
This should be interesting. Elle

Hello Elle,
Thank you for the 5 and the 5 and the 2 Rogers family records
in pictures that you scanned and sent. This is the perfect way to send your
records Elle.
Eileen and I note that you would like to know why George
Rogers and his family moved from Dalton City, Illinois to Morgantown,
Morgan, Indiana. That is moving east.
We will also check on the difference in the date of death for
Goolsberry Rogers that you have of 19 Jan 1855 and the date Kim has of 12
June 1855.
Plus the date of birth for his wife Martha or Patsy Hoagland
you have 15 Jan 1819 in Perry Township, Marion County, Kentucky and Kim has

Greetings, I have printed this message so I can go through it item by
item.
The George Rogers family moved from Morgantown, IN. to Dalton City, IL.
Harriet Rogers died at Dalton City so they had to have moved before Dec.
of 1882 (see New Hope Cemetery). That would be a westward move. I may
have a copy of a law suit against all but Harriet (she may have already
been dead at the time) by someone in Morgantown after they had moved to
Illinois. Not sure what it was about but it established the George
Rogers family no longer resided in Indiana. I’m wondering if perhaps he
had financial problems.
Does it occur to you the Jun and Jan look very similar? Both the
questioned dates involve these 2 months. If I remember correctly I
couldn’t find a death record of Goolsberry (Goolsbury) in Indiana when I
was looking for those kinds of things. It might be worth writing Morgan
Co., because by the time I got there the courthouse was about to close.
I do not know who Goolsberry’s parents were; and the same goes for
Lindsey Rogers but their names appear together often enough for me to
have concluded they were brothers. I think I must have gotten that he
came from Kentucky off a Census record and found Travis on a whole bunch
of public family trees. As for Kentucky Counties, not sure I ever looked
at a map and sometimes the county lines change several times over the
years as the counties become more populated.
That grave stone is not Lindsey Rogers! It is for Lindsey Hiatt d. 12
Aug 1855, (21 yr., 5 mo.m 1 day) s/o R& M Hiatt. If you look at the
census sheets you will see that Lindsey Rogers, George Rogers, and the
Hiatt family had neighboring farms. Also buried in the cemetery is
George R. Rogers d. 25 Aug. 1853, (1 yr. 3 mo. 15days) the s/o L & C
Rogers. I believe L & C Rogers are Lindsey Rogers and Catherine
Hoagland. The Hoagland’s were also farming in the same area. And on
studying the Hyatt-Rogers Cemetery chart I sent you, I find the foot
stone labeled “G.R.R” is for the above infant and not Goolsberry.
Indiana did a pretty thorough survey of cemeteries and I think when it
was done, the markers may still have readable.
I think I’ve answered all the questions. As I said, I got as far as
Goolsberry and Martha and then it was all supposition, guessing, and
maybe romantic fantasy! Good luck, I’m counting on you! Elle

Hello Elle and Eileen and Keith,
Here is the update of the ROGERS for ELLE EDDY gedcom PAF5.2
with Goolsberry Childers and Hoagland families.
Eileen and I meet together today, Friday, 1 July 2011 at 10
am and it is now 7 am.
I found Goolsberry Childers's Rev War record 12th Virginia
regiment under Captain William McKee SF 30924 and pension number 7094, DAR #
484804. This could be who Goolsberry Rogers is named after. Thomas
Goolsberry Childers and Lindsey Childers are children of Goolsberry Childers
and Nancy Sweeney and are brothers of Elizabeth Childers who married Travis
Rogers.

Hello Ellle,
Thank you for the much needed clarifications and corrections.
This is why when I research, family members are my greatest asset.
I have made corrections on the 2 photos on my computer.
Yes, through over 50 years of researching, I know Jun and Jan
look very similar.
More Meeting agenda for Eileen and Marsha for 1 July 2011:
1. Why did the George Rogers family move from Morgantown,
Indiana to Dalton City, Illinois?
Check if there is a law suit against the Rogers family in
Morgantown, Indiana.
2. Write the Morgan County, Indiana courthouse for the death
record of Goolsberry Rogers.
3. Peruse our record of Kentucky counties established dates.
Kentucky borders did not have a radical change.
Thank you Elle.

Marsha

Greetings All,
This would be so much easier if we could all just sit around the table!
First, you have the correct DOB for Emma Mae Rouse --- I misled you by the
way I typed the original Rogers document I sent you. Their wedding date is
listed directly to the right of her name with her DOB and DOD below her
name. You will notice “Mae” is spelled both “Mae” and “May”. In the family
its always been “Mae”. And I am named for her. My legal name is: Ella Mae.
Daddy wanted to call me Mae but mother didn’t like the sound of it so I
ended up with Ella (after one of her older sisters) and Mae. I have used
Elle or Ellie for years. My late husband didn’t like “Ella Mae” any better
than I did! Speaking of which, say a little prayer for him --- I lost my
darling Jo (George Christelow Eddy, Jr.) on July 4, 1994 – he was way too
young.
My grandfather, J. Scott Rogers’ first name was definitely Jasper. See
George Rogers’ Bible entry. I might be able to find a State of Illinois
Pharmacy license with “Jasper” on it but probably not. Scott used J. Scott
(can’t say that I blame him). I have newspaper clippings, even his wallet,
all say, J. Scott. That would have been my response to a name like Jasper!
Yes, Scott, his wife (Emma) Mae Rouse, Martha Gough (George’s second wife)
and a bunch of George’s babies are all buried in a family plot at Dodge
Grove Cemetery in Mattoon, IL. The plot belonged to George Rogers. Somewhere
I have the cemetery deed. George himself is also buried at Dodge Grove but
in an Odd Fellows Circle. I do not know where his third wife is buried. At
the time of his death they were living at the County Odd Fellows Home. I’m
going to be in Illinois in a couple of weeks and will take photos of Scott
and Mae’s graves and also George’s.
Louis A. Rouse was Emma Mae’s much younger brother. Think something like 12
– 13 years younger and he was born at Spirit Lake, Iowa. Same parents ( Conn
A. Rouse and Juliet Bobbitt). You are correct, Uncle Louie and Aunt Clara (I
actually remember them) are buried at Chambers Cemetery, Charleston, IL.
They lived in Charleston all their married life. They had one son, Robert
who is now dead too. Mary Francis I just learned about when I found their
graves. She was either still born or didn’t live more than a couple of days.
Robert Rouse and his wife, Virginia had one child a daughter, Marla Sue. I
have tried many times to make contact with her --- she just isn’t
interested.
I think I told you, I have in my notes somewhere that both Lindsey Rogers
and Goolsberry Rogers were married in Marion County. That would be
Indianapolis and the hassle of driving downtown to go hunting just hasn’t
appealed to me! I know, lazy slug!
Have a happy Fourth. I love fireworks! Lucky you, Marsha, you can see them
from your front door. When I first moved here I could see the town display
from my balcony but now the trees are too tall and lush. Regards, Elle

Hello Elle, Eileen, and Keith,
Thank you for all 4 of the Jasper or Scott Rogers
certificates but I have since the beginning and I remain to have his name is
Jasper Scott Rogers on my ROGERS for ELLE EDDY gedcom.

incorrect and different name, Joseph Scott Rogers. I have noted on my gedcom

Hello Elle,
Thank you for your 2 photos and 3 photos you sent on 2 July
2011.
Did you go in person to obtain the marriage certificate of
George W. Rogers and Harriet E. Cantasey; and the birth of Emma Mae Rouse?
When you mentioned George W. Rogers's Rogers surname was
incorrectly spelled as Rodgers on the marriage certificate, that can happen
as a clerk wrote the name as he thought it spelled. As long as you know and
can prove the true spelling, that is what is important. When giving the
source of what is on the marriage certificate, in your notes give how the
name is spelled on the certificate and that you have documentation of how
the name is actually spelled. I have his name George W. Rogers on my
gedcoms.
And, you took good photos of the Dalton City town sign and
tombstone of George W. Rogers's wife Harriet E. Cantasey Rogers and also the
New Hope cemetery sign.
To read a tombstone better works with baby power or chalk and
paper to make a rub.
As an example, I have a chalk and paper rub by my Philson
cousin in 2004.

Thank you again Elle. These photos are so special and I

Hi Elle, Marsha, and Keith,
I
found this material from Mike
Rogers and his "Goosbury Legacies." Some information is documented from
tax lists as well as other sources. I think there is some valuable
information contained in this document and seems to concurr with the dates
that I have been given. Please review the sources, information, and send
your feedback.
Thanks,
Eileen

Hi Eileen, Sorry to say, anything that looks familiar in this document
is what I already know. I found John Rogers and his Metcalf wife poking
around in Ancestry.com; there are tons of Rogers/Rodgers trees and notes
floating around. My problems is, I don’t know who might actually know
what they are talking about and who doesn’t! I have no family stories to
rely on or disprove. Finding Goolsberry was a tremendous surprise to me
but I’m convinced he is my g,g, grandfather. My Rogers mementos, the few
that I have, are George’s bible, a few photos of George and J. Scott and
Scott’s siblings but if they aren’t labeled the only ones I recognize
are Scott. I don’t have one photograph or object that belonged to my
great grandmother, Harriet Rogers. I learned about George’s mother
through research at the different courthouses and libraries I visited in
Indiana.
Sorry to furnish so little help. Hoping you and Marsha can cut through
all the various Rogers. Thank goodness there is the awful name
“Goolsberry” that leads to Travis, but John??? “John” is kind of like
all the “William Bobbitt’s” in the Wrong Bobbitt book!

Hello Elle,
Some of these ideas you already are planning, so we are on
the same wave length.
While you are in Moultrie and Coles Counties, Illinois...
Find out if any of the suing problems in Indiana followed
George W. Rogers to Moultie County, Illinois.
Moultrie and Coles County Court houses look for deeds, wills,
etc.
Sometimes if a court house does not have a record and they
tell you they are in another county, ask them where they were sent.
Sometimes records are sent to an adjoining county court house or to the
state capital.
Look at the newspaper offices in both counties. May be on
microfilm.
Check on Rogers family in:
Moultrie County Historical and Genealogical Society
The Heritage Center
117 East Harrison Street
Crawford, Illinois
Open Saturday and Monday, 1-5 pm by appointment
Coles County Historical Society
Research Center
1320 Lafayette
Matoon, IL
Dudley House
895 7th Street
Charleston, IL
When you look in books, look at more than the index, peruse
all of the book. Everybody is not in the index.
Take your census in Moultrie and Coles County, Illinois and
search for Rogers family. Are there any living Rogers in Moultrie and Coles
County, Illnois? Ask the older local people.
Look through and take photos of cemeteries and tombstones.
Regards,
Marsha

And Good Morning Elle,
If I could I would send you our rain. We are into the monsoon
season this week.
When I told Keith in my email I was finished, it means that
so far I sent Keith your ROGERS for ELLE EDDY gedcom that corrects Keith's
Elle Rogers Eddy Register Report [Family Tree Maker]
and sent Eileen and my 1st Rogers Research Meeting Agenda we
had on 1 July 2011.
Until Eileen emails what she will find in the Salt Lake City,
Utah Family History Library next week, there is a litte time before Eileen
will send her results to Keith and us, which gives Keith time to place what
we have so far online.
Eileen and I are far from completing your Rogers research. We
have just begun. We plan to find out more about John Rogers and go beyond
John Rogers.
Also I have not as yet received the money you sent for
Eileen's and my research for you. Of course we had the 4th of July holiday
which can slow the land mail down. I will let you know when your money to
Eileen and I arrives.
On the LDS b, e, sp, someone related somehow to you on either
your Dad's or Mom's maternal or fraternal lines wanted your family members
to be together as a family forever, and must not have been related to your
Dad's twin brother Fay.
It is so exciting you and your son are getting ready for your
Illinois trip.

Good Morning Marsha,
You could send us some of that rain! I have
a number of questions. In your email to

et.al. you state that you are finished.
Does this mean there is no way to go beyond
John? Or that you have used the money I sent
and require more? I would very much like to
go further if it is possible. And secondly
in looking at the facts for my father I see
dates for LDS Baptism 20 July 1995, Endow...
9 Jan 1996, and Sealed to ... 16 Jan 1996.
Since I am not a Mormon, I would like to
know what this means. I must have some
Mormon relatives? And why wasn’t his twin
Fay included?
Getting ready for my son’s arrival on Friday

Hello Elle, Keith, and Eileen,
I want to make a comment for all to read. Elle, I owe you an apology as I was in such a rush to email Keith, I thought your email address was in my email as usual and it wasn't. Elle, as the Rogers is your line, I need all of the imput you would like to share.
This is for only the eyes of Elle, Keith and Eileen. Maybe it is a blessing in disguise because what I wanted to tell Elle is private and should not have been in my email attached to this one as that email may be online.
Thank you Elle as you are my best help with the Rogers genealogy.

Hello Elle, Alan, Eileen, and Keith,
It is a thrill for me to introduce Alan Dixon of the
Elizabeth Childers line and related by marriage to Travis Rogers line. Alan
is familiar with the Rogers line.
As I told Elle in my email, you never know how someone is
related until you ask. I only saw the Harriet E. Cantasey married George W.
Rogers record Alan Dixon had submitted before I telephoned Alan.
Alan Dixon, please let me introduce you to Elle Eddy, whose
father is Charles Ray Rogers born 2 Apr 1905 Matoon, Coles, Illinois and
mother is Mamie Wilhemina Engel,
her grandfather is Jasper Scott Rogers born 30 Jan 1878
Morgantown, Morgan, Indiana and grandmother is Emma Mae Rogers,
her great grandfaher is George W. Rogers born 18 Sep 1851
Morgantown, Morgan, Indiana and great grandmother is Harriet E. Cantasey,
her great great grandfather is Goolsberry Rogers born 15 June
1819 Shelby County, Kentucky and great great grandmother is Martha or Patsey
Hoagland,
her great great great grandfather is Travis Rogers born 1783
in Stafford, Virginia and great great great grandmother is Elizabeth
Childers, daughter of Goolsberry Childers [Rev War] and Nancy Sweeney,
and Eileen Sears and Marsha Berry are researching her great
great great great grandfather John Rogers born 1750 and died 1804 in Shelby
County, Kentucky and her great great great great grandmother is Mary
Metcalfe.
As I mentioned to Alan on the telephone, Eileen Sears is a
BYU genealogy collegue of mine and she and I recently completed Elle Eddy's
Bobbitt line which is a different DNA proven line than Keith Bobbitt and my
Bobbitt line. Eileen has helped me with several genealogy clients. Keith
Bobbitt is my Bobbitt cousin and he has the
keithbobbitt.com web site.
As I mentioned, Alan is mainly related to the Childers line
and is related by marriage to Travis Rogers.
Elle, now you and Alan can compare genealogy and please share
with all of us.
Alan, please share with us about how you are related to the
Childers line and about your Childers and Rogers research. Thank you.
Thank you.

Hi Elle, Marsha, and Keith,
Cheers to all,

Greetings Everyone! Thanks for the report Eileen. It has solved some
mysteries --- no wonder I couldn’t find the 1880 Census report! I didn’t
try the name “Roggers” and I’m a creative speller. In the 1910 Census
George’s wife is Emma Carr I have their wedding license so I suspect
Blanch Carr was Emma’s child by the previous marriage. I have figured
out that this third wife is the one my father was talking about when to
spoke of his grandmother. I have a feeling she probably helped raise
Scott’s motherless family.
Marsha, one correction on your email to Mr. Dixon, the twins Ray and Fay
were born on Apr 1, April Fool’s Day. In 1905 that probably was no joke
at all.
Now back to the present --- cleaning house etc getting ready for my son
Paul’s visit. Regards to all, Elle

Hello Elle, Eileen, Alan, and Keith,
Thank you Elle. Your family records have the twins Ray and
Fay Rogers are born on 1 April 1905, however, the Social Security Death
Index has the twins born on 2 April 1905...a surprise. Even though you have
the correct date Elle, one when researching needs to note records such as
the Social Security Death Index. A record given at birth may be more correct
than a death record.
I have the birth date of 1 April 1905 on my ROGERS for ELLE
EDDY gedcom PAF5.2 and in my notes is the Soc Sec Death Index record of 2
Apr 1905.

Hello Keith,
I was reading in your 5:14 am 13 July 2011 email to Chird
Bobbitt you cannot make heads or tails out of Elle Eddy's Rogers tree.
Maybe it is because when you see the tree the 1st person or
RIN1 does not begin with Elle or Living Female Rogers and instead she is
RIN19.
The tree begins with RIN1 Julie Bobbitt because that is the
way it downloaded from Elle Eddy's tree.
Go to Julie Bobbitt and Con Alexander Rouse's 3rd child Emma
Mae Rouse.
Then go to Emma Mae Rouse and her husband Jasper Scott
Rogers.
Then go to their child Charles Ray Rogers. Charles Ray Rogers
and Mamie Wilheimina Engel are the parents of Elle or Living female child.
You are now where you need to be to take the Rogers pedigree
back to John Rogers born 1750 and died 1804 in Shelby County, Kentucky and
wife Mary Metcalfe.
I hope this helps. Please let me know.
Regards,
Marsha

Good Morning everyone, I have downloaded the latest files you posted
Marsha. I have my papers in order and am ready to set out for Illinois
Saturday morning. I should have the full day on Monday to hunt documents
at the Moultrie County courthouse and the genealogy library. Since my
plans have changed, I won’t be able to get to Charleston (Coles Co.) to
check documents there this trip but I’ll be back in the area beginning
July ??. So if you think of anything else you’d like me to try to
locate, let me know. It does sound as though that you’ve moved well
beyond George Rogers so I’m not sure there is going to be any real news
to report.
Isn’t it fun to have another Babbitt/Bobbitt et al find us! Its getting
to be a small world, isn’t it. I’ll check in when I get back. Cheers,
Elle

Hello Elle and everyone,
You have your papers in order and are ready for your trip to
Illinois. This is so exciting and wonderful.
W
hen you go to the Moultrie County courthouse and genealogy
library to look up your Rogers family, also please give a telephone call to
the Family History Center, 3955 Lourdes Lane in Decatur, phone number:
217-875-9396, to see if they are open and if they have any Moultrie and
surrounding counties genealogy books or family histories or other documents.
When you ask if the Family History Center has any of your
Rogers line, most people look in an index and a family may not be in the
index but are in the book or family history, so please look through all of
the book or all of the family history, etc.
I am sure you are taking a printout of Jan Babbitt's
genealogy and her brother and tester Bryan Babe Babbitt's male DNA number
results that have a perfect match to you and your male tester James Terry
Bobbitt, to show your Bobbitt family their connection to the Massachusetts
Edward Babbitt or Edwardus Bobbet line. This is on
keithbobbitt.com.

Where Elle's John Rogers was born about 1750. We know his wife Mary Metcalfe
was born about 1754 in Farquier County, Virginia. John and Mary married
about 1773 in Virginia and son Travis Rogers was born in about 1783 in
Stafford County, Virginia.
Note: Eileen, will you join me in helping to find Where my

Attach: bmp
Attach: jpeg
Stephen has checked the Texas Vital Records and nothing, and
I did not find his grandfather in the ancestry Soc Sec Death Index.
William did apply for a WW2 1942 draft at the age 60 of which
I have a copy from new familysearch. He lived next to his sister in Linden,
Texas.
William's tombstone is in the Mill Creek Cemetery, Cass County, Texas:
tombstone inscription has born Nov 2, 1881 and died Nov 3, 1947. Stephen has
checked out sextons, the funeral home which no longer exists, etc.
As Cass County, Texas is near the borders of Arkansas and Louisiana, the
vital records need to be checked.
I can give you more of the details from Stephen's and my
emails at our meeting. I believe this is getting near a trip to the SLC FHL.
This means we will be doing research for Elle and Steve. I
hope this is ok with you as it is ok with me.

The John Rogers 1794 Will in Faurquir County, Virginia you
found seems to fit to be the father of John Rogers who died in 1840. Great
find. You are super.
On Thursday I can share my cousin Stephen Bobbitt's

Hi Everybody, I’m home for about 12 hours then I’m heading for Florence,
KY for the day. I leave for a second trip to Illinois on Sunday. I
didn’t find anything I didn’t already know in Dalton City and Moultrie
County. I did take photos of a number of Bobbitt graves, 2 existing old
Bobbit houses in Dalton City, and a couple photos of Harriet Canatsey
Rogers’ grave. This time I walked all the way around it and found
mention of the 2 infants she bore, the second one just days before she
died. I’m wondering if maybe one of her relatives lived in the Dalton
City area and that’s how they ended up there. Seems like all the other
Rogers stayed in Indiana and Kentucky. And of course I met a ton of
Bobbitt relatives! It was fun! They came mostly from all over Illinois
but one of Terry’s sons came from Virginia and one of his brother’s
girls came from Mississippi. Terry was really thrilled. It was a 80th
birthday party for him as well as a reunion.
I’m not going to have time to digest all the new Rogers information
until I get back from Kentucky. Thank you for being such wonderful
detectives!
Cheers, Elle

Hello Stephen Bobbitt and Elle Eddy,
Today, Thursday, 21 July 2011 Eileen Sears and Marsha Berry
met together from 10 to 11:15 am at Marsha's home to discuss our findings
with Elle Eddy's Rogers line and Stephen Bobbitt's grandfather William White
Bobbitt's place of death.
Yes, Eileen will help Stephen Bobbitt who is Marsha's and
Keith Bobbitt's male DNA proven cousin, with the research. Marsha is
including both Elle's and Stephen's lines on this email.
Marsha and Eileen perused the findings in the Salt Lake City
Utah Family History Library and the internet and who is family and who is
not family and what is true and not true.
We have found more Rogers family for you Elle.
Marsha presented from the internet --
the Fauquier County, Virginia marriage bonds
Found in Fauquier County Loose Papers:
William Metcalfe to Elizabeth Barnett 13 Nov 1784, bondsman
George Rogers Junior, his 1st cousin once removed, grandson of John Rogers
and Mary Metcalfe [daughter of John Metcalfe and Sibell Farrow]
Attach: jpeg
Note: Now we go back one more generation with Mary Metcalfe's
parents John Metcalfe and Sibell Farrow.
Eileen presented from the SLC FHL --
Attach: jpeg
Note: This is the original marriage
Note: Marsha noted we need to be careful we have the correct
Rogers family as more than one Rogers family are in the same area.
Marsha gave Eileen 2 family group sheets from the ROGERS for
ELLE EDDY gedcom PAF5.2 as Eileen's printer is not working:
1. John Rogers and Mary Metcalfe and children and notes
2. John Rogers 1794 Will and children and notes
Note: County histories with various Rogers from the SLC FHL
were reviewed and did not pertain, but we always keep them.
Note: Marsha and Eileen reviewed the emails between Stephen
Bobbitt and Marsha to this date 21 July 2011, about finding the death place
of Stephen's grandfather William White Bobbitt. We noted the death date of 3
Nov 1947 and burial place is the Mill Creek Cemetery in Cass County, Texas.
Attach: rtf
21 July 2011 Meeting Eileen Sears and Marsha Berry for Elle
Eddy and Stephen Bobbitt
Note: This attachment has the agenda for research for both
Elle and Stephen.
For Elle Eddy:
1. Look for 1773 Wills of Henry Rogers died 19 Aug 1773 in
Fauquier County, Virginia
2. Check on Rogers in Abermarle County, Virginia
3. Determine who belongs to Elle's Rogers family from
findings
For Stephen Bobbitt:
1. Look for newspaper articles on William White Bobbitt died
3 Nov 1947 in Linden, Cass, Texas and surrounding area including Shreveport
where a relative was taken
2. Check hospitals in Linden, Cass, Texas and Shreveport,
Louisiana for grandfather
3. Check on the 2 Lovejoy Townships in Illinois, one in
Iroquois County south of Chicago and one in St. Claire County where Scotts
Field is located and where Stephen's Dad was stationed and honorably
discharged in June 1945, for where Stephen's mother was living in 1945, 2
years before his grandfather died. Was Stephen's mother in Chicago or Scotts
Field?
Important Note: Eileen and her husband will soon be leaving
out of town and state and will return after 1 August 2011.
Please read through this email carefully as we have both
Elle's and Stephen's lines.
Thank you Elle and Stephen for your assistance. Thank you
Eileen for going to the SLC FHL.
