This is not my Rogers line, but this is what I have found online.
I do not have a subscription to Footnote.com, but I was able to read the Civil War Muster (Quick Look) records for John W. Rogers, Co. I, 9th VA Cavalry, well enough to see that he enlisted in King George County.
1850 Virginia, King George County
All born in VA
Elizabeth Rogers, age 48
John Rogers, age 14
Henry Rogers, age 12
Charles Rogers, age 11
Ann Rogers, age 9
1860 Virginia, King George County
All born in VA
Nancy Clift, age 58
John W. Rogers, age 24
Charles W. Rogers, age 20
Ann M. Rogers, age 18
1860 Virginia, King George County
All born in VA
Madison Clift, age 35
Edmond Clift, age 65
Henry Rogers, age 22
Since the 1860 Nancy Clift is 10 years older than the 1850 Elizabeth Rogers, I have wondered if it could be the same person. It is not uncommon for a first name to be used in one census and a middle name in a different census. I could not find any information to support that Elizabeth might have remarried, so it might just be wild speculation.
But there must be some connection between the Clift family and Rogers family.
I hope this is somewhat helpful. It at least provides a good possibility that this is your John W. Rogers.
