I am trying to locate any Rodgers that is connected to Wiley Richard Rodgers b. abt 1849 TN? (at least it said so on 1900 TX censes. ) He lived in Giles Co. TN for several years as well as Franklin Co. and Lincoln Co and possiably Alabama., around Rogersville.
He married Eliza Watkins in 1872 had there first child Richard W. Rodgers in 1873 in Chatnooga TN. There second Nathan was born in Dieshard in Franklin Co. TN and then Mary Etta Was born in Giles Co. in 1878.
It appears that something may have happened to Eliza Watkins as Wiley married a Jane Summerford of Lincoln Co. TN in abt 1881 they had a child Lulu Rodgers in 1881 she is burried in cem. in Blue Ridge TX Collin Co TX in 1895.
Wiley married again in about 1887 to Mary Louella Bell and they had Mary Bell (Velma ) Rodgers in 1887 in Giles Co. then Rutha Mae b.1888 in Giles Co and then they must have migrated to TX in about 1890 as they had there next child John Frelean Rodgers b. 1893 in Collin Co. TX.
trying to find any siblings or parents to Wiley Rodgers.
He has been very elusive man. Help needed.
