Anna "Annie" Flowey Irons

Annie Rogers was a Cherokee woman

Origins

There were at least seven John Rogers living in Cherokee territory in the mid-1700s. See research notes below.
This John Rogers was thought to have been born around 1745 in either North or South Carolina. He had a trading post on the Hiwassee River in Tennessee.[citation needed] He was often called Captain. John may have been a Tory Captain in the Revolutionary War,[citation needed] but this is uncertain.

John married Elizabeth Emory around 1771; Elizabeth was still alive as late as 8 Aug 1806:

"Today on the 8th, Mr. Rogers's two women, namely a mother and her daughter!, visited the school in the afternoon."[1]
The footnote for this entry reads:
"The mother was Elizabeth Emory and her daughter was Jennie Due, Rogers’s step-daughter. Starr, History of the Cherokee Indians, 305"
John and Elizabeth were the parents of five children:
Charles,
Aky,
John,
James,
Nannie.

Around 1783, John began having children with his step-daughter, Jennie Due. They were also the parents of five children:[2]
Annie,
Joseph,
William,
Tiana
Susannah.

John died before 1835, but place and date are unknown.
