Vicki:Thanks very much.I found William E. and Sarah E. Rodgers on 1880 USC Grayson co, TX, 7th Precinct, 33/33:Rodgers, William E. 30 born MO; Sarah E. 22 wife b TX; Ora A. 2 Dtr b TX.
As you said, Sarah E. was Sarah E. "Sallie" Odell.Sarah E. & Ann Rebecca Odellwere ch of Simon Odell (Jr.) and wife Malinda "Belinda" Crabtree.Sarah E.'s sister, Ann Rebecca, married James David Moore and are shown in the hh of Samuel A. Rodgers & wife Sarah C. as 'step d-i-l and step-son', same census page, 35/35.I don't know if William E. was b AR or MO, but do feel his wife Sarah [Odell] Rodgers was born TX.The Odells were Mercer colonists, and her parents Simon & Malinda were married in Hunt Co., TX 8 Oct 1847.Malinda received widow's pension for his Mex War service.Simon Odell died 24 March 1869 in Gordonville, Grayson Co., TX.
