Notes |
- "When about eight years of age William Rogers, Jr., removed with hisparents to Bath county, Kentucky, where he grew to maturity on a farmwhich was originally a cane brake in a dense, unbroken wilderness. Erea house could be erected, a space had to be cleared and when finishedthe little frontier dwelling was not as high as the growth of cane bywhich surrounded. After residing on this place for a few years theelder Rogers purchased a farm on Bald Eagle creek near where thatstream empties into Flat creek, and it was there that the subject'sgrandparents spent the remainder of their days. His wife dying, Mr.Rogers, Sr., subsequently remarried and lived to a ripe old age,leaving an honored name which his descendants prize as a pricelessheritage.
William Rogers, Jr., served in Col. "Dick" Johnson's regiment duringthe War of 1812 and was at the battle of the Thames, where thecelebrated Indian chief Tecumseh lost his life, killed, it isbelieved, by the Colonel himself. Later he bought a farm in Bathcounty, Kentucky, near his old home where he reared a large family andspent the residue of his life, dying when nearly one hundred years ofage."
