Merrell-33 and Merrill-1124 appear to represent the same person because: The last name is usually spelled Merrilll; however Merrell is also used on some records. The parents and siblings of Rachel Merrell-33 are correct while the husband Joseph Rogers is correct on Merrill-1124.

These are definitely the same person, the spelling of the last name is the issue.

The parents of Rachel Merrill are John Franklin (Merrill) Merrell (Merrill-3079) and Mary Catherine (Wiseman) Merrill (Wiseman-101).

I was going to recommend merging Rachel (Merrill) Rogers (Merrill-1124) and Rachel Merrell-33; however the last name spellings have to be worked out.

Rachel Merrell lived near the area of Fishing Creek in Franklin county Ga prior to 1805 where she was married to Joseph Rogers. In 1805 her husband Joseph Rogers sold his land to his father in law John Merrell and then they moved to Sparta, White county Tennessee. Land documents in Sparta Tennessee show purchase of land on corner of College and Main st around 1811. Joseph Rogers was inducted into the military for the war of 1812 from Sparta with Captain Newmans company and flatboated down to New Orleans where he fought on the left flanks near the Swamps taking the major brunt of the British assault. Joseph Rogers shows up on the military Roster of the Battlegrounds at New Orleans and returns home after the victory over the British. Joseph Rogers and Rachel receive a military bounty land grant in Madison county Arkansas per info on Glorecords.com and then moves to the Kings River near Kingston, Arkansas about 1841. Rachel Merrell lives with her husband until after the census of 1850 and dies sometime between then and 1860 and she is likely buried near her son Lawson Rogers at the Upper Campground cemetery near Kingston. Her husband Joseph Rogers would go to live with his sons other sons in Johnson county Arkansas and died sometime around the civil war period. Rachel Merrells sons operated a flour mill on a tributary off of the Kings river that crossed their sons property.
