Have you come across any Conway connections in the Alabama records for your Rodgers family? Three of Henry Conway's nephews left TN and moved to Alabama about the same time your Rodgers did.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I have not. Where in Alabama did they settle? Do you have any resources on the Nolichucky settlers? My Rodgers were among them.
ReplyDeleteI'm slow to respond. My apologies. The only Conway I can place specifically is Edward Turner Conway whose will was probated in Dallas County, AL 8 Nov. 1824. He died without issue.
ReplyDeleteAs to Nolichucky resources, have you seen Loraine Rae's Washington County Deed Abstracts? Your Rodgers appear to have land purchases there as well. I'll be glad to do look ups if you don't have the information.
I definitely haven't seen Loraine Rae's book. I'd love anything on the Rodgers/Rogers.. if there are too many, James Rodgers will do. Thanks! :) My email is nickmgombash@yahoo.com if you want to email it privately.
