Descendant "Enoch M. Rogers first settled in Ellendale township, Alexander county, North Carolina. About the year 1890 he joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and with his entire family removed to Manassa, Colorado, a Mormon community, there he lived and prospered and there he died."--P. 46.
