James William Rogers married Rebecca Wilson on 11 Nov 1894 in Barry County.
I need help in establishing that this is James William Rogers son of John C.
Rogers, Jr and Mary Berry.



If so, James William was born December 1874 in Bell County, Texas. His
parents died in June 1879 of "congestive chills" from malaria. He went with
his older brother, John Franklin and younger sister, Barbara Melinda to live
with paternal grandparents John C. Rogers, Sr. and Mary Rentfrow in Grayson
County, Texas. At some point after 1881 or 1882, this family moved back to
the Barry County area possibly where Mary Armenda Rogers (daughter of John
C. Rogers Sir and Mary Rentfrow) and her husband George Henson lived (around
Jenkins). Mary Rentfrow went to live with another daughter, Lydia Melissa
Jane Rogers and her husband Thomas Rayford Ansley in Parker County, Texas
where she died in 1897.



If believe this James William Rogers died in 1921 in Grady County, Oklahoma.
I believe his brother John Franklin lived in Grady County, also but I cannot
find him after 1920.



Any help on these two brothers is appreciated.
