(Harrison) Rogers.Doswell Rogers I [aka Old Doswell]
Doswell Rogers , [possibly, NOT PROVEN, son of Adenstone & Catherine (Doswell) Rogers 36 of York Co., VA] b.1736 37 , VA; d. after 1812 38 , Lee Co., VA; m. to Ann (Unknown) 39.
Doswell brought the whole family across the Blue Ridge in 1770.
Doswell was living in Halifax Co., VA in 1762 and 1763. He is shown on the 1767 List of Tithables for Pittsylvania Co., VA [present day Henry Co., VA]. In 1770/1771, he is on the tithable for Botetourt Co., VA. The area of Botetourt Co. in which he resided was included the following year into Fincastle County. Doswell is found in the deed records of Fincastle and as a member of the militia.
Doswell Rogers was out hunting land on the Clinch in 1773/1774 40 . Doswell signed his deeds with an ‘R’ 41 . On 27 Dec 1774, 296 acs. were surveyed for Doswell in Fincastle Co., VA.. His horse served for 29 days as horse hire during August 1774; he participated at the Battle of Point Pleasant, on the Ohio River Lord Dunmore’s War. There are no Revolutionary War records for Doswell Rogers.
He served in May 1781 as a member of a Grand Jury in Montgomery Co., VA. On 5 Mar 1782, Doswell together with John Rice (possible father of Lucinda Rice), posted bond for John Roberts. Then on 3 Oct 1785, he witnessed the will of James Walling of Montgomery Co., VA (present day Grayson Co.).
Ann Rogers signs two deeds in 1792, Wythe Co., VA 42 , just prior to the time that they moved to Russell Co., VA 43 . There are no other proven wives of Doswell Rogers 44 . This Doswell and his son were always found in Virginia. The records prove this. When they moved from Wythe Co. to Russell it was still VA. And then Russell became Lee. Before that time when they first crossed the Blue Ridge into Botetourt Co. they were in Western Waters of VA. Botetourt to Fincastle to Montgomery to Wythe to Russell to Lee to Scott. It was always the same either by new county formation or an actual move, but always in VA.
On 10 Nov 1795, Doswell sold land in Lee Co., VA to Thomas.

Between the years of 1795 and 1842, they made many land purchases and sales in both Lee and Scott County, Virginia. All transactions involved a tract of land along the North Fork of the Clinch River in Scott County, VA, which was formed from Lee in 1815.

2. Thomas Rogers, son of Doswell Rogers , I, b. 1765, Halifax Co., VA; d. ca. 1853, Scott Co., VA (left will); m. to Jane64 Unknown, d. before 1850, not listed in 1850 Census or in the will of Thomas..
In the 1850 Scott Co., VA census and again when he signed a deposition in 1811/1812 he gives his age as 46 years old. His place of birth is assertained from the fact that his father, Doswell, has been placed in Halifax Co., VA during this time, thus it is assumed that this is his place of birth. Nancy is his only known wife, her surname is unknown. She signed off her dower to property that they owned in Wythe Co., VA (present day Grayson Co., VA). Thomas Rogers lived and died in Scott Co., VA.
He owned 340 acres in Blue Springs and another 100 acres on the North Fork of the Clinch.
Thomas was the only son of Doswell that stayed with his father and lived and moved with him. The others were never as close to their father as he was.
He is found in March 1788, on the tax list for Montgomery County. His holdings included three farms on a north branch of the North Fork of Clinch River, 340 acres with two dwellings (24' x 18' and 20' x 18' , each one-story) a grist mill and five (5) other "out" cabins 62 .
On 1850 census of Scott Co 63 . He is the owner of old Doswell's 340 acs on N fork and Blue Spring of Clinch.64
Thomas & Nancy (Unknown) Rogers had at least three (3) children, who were named in his will:
1. Joseph Rogers, b. ca. 1789, m1st 15 Aug 1829, Scott Co., VA to Delia Cantor; m 2nd 18 Mar 1862, Scott Co., VA to Rachel Jones.
