Rogers family of Shelby, Illinois.To Kay West.Read your old entry on the forum 1999.I can't help but feel that our Rogers families are connected.The 1860 census for Shelby County, Ill shows Samuel Rogers with wife Elizabeth and children.My John, 1839 was born there and left home to fight in the Civil War from Illinois.After he served, he went to Fayette Co., Pa and married.He returned to Illinois to introduce his bride to his mother but then returned to Pa to live.I can't connect him clearly to Samuel because I think he left home just before the 1860 census was taken.He reportedly worked in the coal mines in Pa.Elizabeth is reported as being born in Kentucky-that may be where our lines go as there are many Rogers there. There is a Shelbyville, Shelby Co., Kentucky.
