Hi all,

My name is Judy and I married a Rogers from Jefferson County, AL. I had been
researching my family surnames for several years and decided to see if I
could find anything on his families.

Looking in particular for the surnames Rogers (also found as Rodgers), Salter
and Norris. They all seemed to show up in Jefferson County, Alabama by about
1840. At that time, where some of them lived was close to Bibb Co. and
Tuscaloosa Co. and I found some of them in those counties.

Nathaniel Rogers, born 1767 in Kent County, Maryland, served in Revolutionary
War and received a pension until his death in 1835. He was married to Cely
or Celey about 1783 in Mecklinburg Co., NC. A Daniel Palmer states, "In 1787
they were in Union District, and had a daughter named Elizabeth who married
William Bogan". They also had another daughter, and the writing is very hard
to read, but it looks like Sallie, but not positive about that.

Don't have the papers or my notes in front of me, but do remember someone
saying they lived in the Fair Forest Creek area.

In 1840, Daniel Palmer states "Elizabeth who married William Bogan and is now
the widow of William Bogan, deceased, living near Union County Courthouse in
the District and State aforesaid, he was well acquainted with ? (couldn't
read this name), William and Isaac Bogan whose names are recorded in a book
in the possession of Elizabeth Bogan, the daughter of the said Celey Rogers
and know them to be the grandchildren of the said Celey Rogers and Nathaniel
Rogers, deceased and believe the records to their ages to be true and genuine
and further states that he saw the names in the presence of Zephenia Posey.

This document is somewhat hard to read, as most, some pages easy to read,
some not so easy.

Another bit of information, not researched yet:
"The following petition was located in a box of miscellaneous records in the
office of the Probate Judge of Union County. Nathaniel Rogers Sr. does not
have an estate file listed in the index to the Union County estate files.
The petition was filed 2 July 1857.
South Carolina
Union District In The Court of Ordinary
To: B. Johnson, Esqr. Judge of the Court of Ordinary in and for the District
aforesaid.
Whereas the Humble petition of Nathaniel Rogers, Jr. Respectfully Sheweth
that his father Nathaniel Rogers Sen'r Late of the District and State
aforesaid departed this life intestate on the _ day of _Eighteen Hundred and
__Leaving himself, John Rogers, Elijah Rogers, Elizabeth Bogan, Abba Steen
and Nancy Reader him Surviving that at the time of his death he deeded off to
Your petetioner all of his Estate both Real and Personal and if he Left any
Estate at the time of his death it did not exceed ten Dollars in value.
Your petitioner is desireous of becoming the administrator of the Said Estate
and prays that Letters of administration be granted to him
Nathaniel Rogers
Per C. H. Dillard his atty. (qall spelling as it appears here)"

If anyone has any information on these Rogers, Bogans, Steen or Reader,
please contact me.
