ROGERS
Thomas Rogers b SC 1802
first wife: Elizabeth born in NC about 1817 died 1860/1861?
Lived in Alabama until about 1846 then Monroe County, Mississippi
Their children:
Frances M, Richard, Mary, Nancy, Sarah, Martha, Lidia, John, Robert
Thomas married Sarah Holbert in 1861 and I know they had at least one
child, General Lee Rogers (my gg born in 1864) who married Julia
Cantrell. Thomas is buried with Sarah, so I do not know where his first
wife was buried. General Lee & Julia Rogers had 3 daughters - Shirley,
Crim, & Peggy (Lay, my gm).
In the 1870 census, they are showing other children living with them:
Catherine (maybe a DIL?), Idellas, Reuben (possibly Robert?).
In 1880, they have a granddaughter Susan who was born in Texas living
with them.
I know several of the first set of children moved to Texas, but do not
know who Susan's parents were. I also do not know if General Lee had any
whole siblings from his mother Sarah.
I would love any information on any of the Rogers or if anyone knows
anything about Sarah's family.

LAY
I need to directions to Center (maybe spelled Senter) Cemetery in
Greenwood Springs (Quincy). I know that Elizabeth & John Lay are buried
there, but I remember about a dozen or more other tombstones being there
and want to research when I am able to visit. My father took me there
about 23 years ago and it was extremely overgrown, and I remember it
being on a side road in the woods - near or on the James Taylor property
(formerly I think this was owned by the Bookers or Grays, and originally
the Wises - all my relatives). A side road off Route 8 (not that far from
278) on the same side of the road that my grandparents (Kirby & Mildred
Carter) used to live? Any help is greatly appreciated.
