Thomas Rogers Line

Hawkins Co.

It is BELIEVED that Thomas is the bro of old Doswell of Halifax Co. The main reason being he has a son named Dauswell and that name is carried on in his line as well. They are found living in the same places across VA. In 1787 Thomas and Dauswell leave Mont Co. and move to NC according to the tax records. However, this was Hawkins Co. NC, which shortly became Hawkins Co. TN. Some people assume that they really went into what we call NC today, however, that is not true 65 .  Checking the maps closely you can see that old Thomas and old Doswell still ended up living very near to each other. Doswell have lots of property on the Clinch River just across the line of what was then Hawkins Co.66

Thomas Rogers, Sr. [aka Old Thomas]

Thomas Rogers, [possibly, NOT PROVEN, son of Adenstone & Catherine (Doswell) Rogers 68 of York Co., VA] b. ca. 1740, Virginia; son of (unknown); d. between 1811-1812, Hawkins Co., TN - his will was made 8 Sept 1811; m. Jean/Jane (Unknown). 

In his will he divided his land equally between his two sons, Dauswell and Thomas, Jr. His wife, Jean in will, and four daughters were given portions. 

Although it appears on the surface that Thomas Rogers did a lot of moving from place to place, what happened was actually the shifting of lines on a map.  

• His name appears on an election return list dated 9 Mar 1790, Hawkins Co., TN 69 .

• He was living on his farm in Hawkins County when a shift in the state line placed his farm into the state of Virginia for a brief time.  It was during this time that he signed the Russell Co., VA petition.  Thomas Rogers , Senior signed the petition to form Lee County, Virginia. The Legislature passed the petition on 25 Oct 1792. Thomas Rogers, Sr. was residing in Russell County (an area that would become Lee Co.), Virginia 70 .

• Shortly, thereafter the state line shifted once again and returned his home to Hawkins Co.  So as it can be seen - it  appears that he moved around, but it was just the state line that did all the moving. 

   In 1810, the following Rogers' are listed in Capt. Looney Co. Hawkins Co., Tenn. taxpayers listing: 

F Doswell Rogers 50 acs. 1 poll
F Thomas Rogers 50 acs. no poll
F George Rogers 0 acs. 1 poll
F Thomas Rogers 0 acs. 1 poll

Thomas Rogers, Sr., and his son Doswell Rogers, Jr. left Virginia sometime before 1787, for they are charged on 12 May 1788 for unpaid 1787 taxes (a notation beside their names indicates that they had moved to North Carolina). The area to which they were moving was what we presently call Tennessee, at the time of their move it was known as Hawkins Co., North Carolina. Shortly after their arrival in Hawkins Co, NC it became Tennessee.

 A land sale registered on 2 Dec 1796 shows 61: Thomas and Dauswell Rogers [residents of Hawkins Co., TN] to William W. Clain. For $400 in Hawkins County on the north side of Clinch Mountain on Little War Creek beginning on a spur of Clinch Mountain. This land is near the present day Moorsburg. The sale was witnessed by Drury Holt, Absolum Looney, Thomas ______, and Thomas Rogers.

LAND TRANSACTIONS

 In the 1830 Census 100 Jesse Rogers is shown with six members in his household. At the out break of the Civil War Jesse and his family were in Scott County, Virginia. Due to a strong Union sentiment and outspoken opposition to the war, he was taken as a prisoner during the time that the Confederacy held and held in a Confederate prison. (Possibly Andersonville). He came home after the war almost starved and in broken health.

Census Records  
101 102  103 : 104

Apparently Jesse and Lucinda separated for a time or Jesse was away visiting at the time of the Census, because we find in the 1870 Scott Co., VA Census that Lucinda Rogers is shown alone with her grandson Robert. Jesse Rogers is found in the home of Hiram Herd in Hancock County, Tennessee.

93 John M.C. (McClellan) Rice was listed in the 1850 Hawkins Count Tennessee Census in the home of Orville Rice.
