Some sources that state Robert's father was Robert "Bob" Rogers, an Irish-Scotsman. He came to what is now West Virginia around 1800 to trade with the Indians. Later, he married Lucy Elizabeth "Betty" Cordery who was half-blood Cherokee. This would follow that Robert was at least one- fourth Cherokee.

Several sources that insist that Robert's father was John Roberts, who married Sarah Cordery (Lucy's sister). Apparently though John was the older Robert's brother. There are also several sources who list John as Captain John Rogers and Alcey Vann's son. Either way the younger Robert would have been at least one-fourth Cheroke
