Jack Morris:
"JOHN ROGERS I, son of JOSEPH I and MARY [FARGESON] ROGERS,was born about
1714 on the ROGERS plantation on the south side of Blackwater Swamp in lower Surry Co.
Va. [later Sussex Co.] JOHN ROGERS I was left one cow and calf in the will of his grandfather
JOHN FARGESON, dated May 10, 1715 probated Mar.19,1717 in Essex Co. Va. About 1741
JOHN ROGERS I married MARTHA, who was probably a daughter of JOSIAH HILL for whom
they named their second son. Also about 1741 JOHN ROGERS I moved with his father
JOSEPH ROGERS from Surry Co. Va. to the part of Bertie Co. N.C. which later became
Northampton Co. Records have not been found to prove whether he married in Va. or N.C. In
1756 JOHN ROGERS & MARTHA his wife of Northampton N.C. sold to Henry Sawry of
Sussex Co. Va. a tract of land on the south side of of McKeren [Meherin?] River in
Northampton Co. In 1761 JOHN ROGERS of Northampton Co. sold a tract of land on the north
side of the Neherin River in Northampton Co.; and on Nov o 3,1763 JOHN ROGERS of
Johnston Co. sold to Stephen Williamson a tract in Northampton Co. Thus JOHN & MARTHA
had moved ca. 1763 from Northampton Co. to Johnston Co. with their eight children. SERVICE
IN FRENCH & INDIAN WAR: In the fall of 1757 the French & Indian War was going hard for
the English. North Carolina colonial militia were called to serve in Virginia under Gen. John
Forbes, including Col. Hugh Waddell's regiment with Sergt. JOHN ROGERS. Western Virginia
at that time included Ohio and western Pennsylvania. In 1758 Gen. Forbes with his Virginia
expedition pushed toward Fort Duquesne on the Ohio River; but winter set in while he was still
40 miles away. In that desolate mountain wilderness, ill prepared to besiege the fort or to
spend the winter, the general was in such sore straits that he offered a reward of L50 [50 lbs.]
to anyone who could capture an Indian alive for information. Sergt. JOHN ROGERS of
Col.Waddell's command succeeded in taking an Indian alive, who admitted that the French
garrison was to weak to endure a seige.
He was married to Martha (or Sarah) HILL about 1741. Martha (or Sarah) HILL1 was born
about 1720. She died about 1775 in Wake Co, NC. John ROGERS and Martha (or Sarah)
HILL had the following children:
186 i. James ROGERS1.
187 ii. Sarah ROGERS1.
188 iii. Priscilla ROGERS1.
189 iv. Rebecca ROGERS1.
190 v. Penelope ROGERS1.
+191 vi. Mary ROGERS.
+192 vii. Joshua or Josiah Hill ROGERS (born about 1745).
+193 viii. John ROGERS (born about 1750).
