Biography
Josiah Rogers (an alternate spelling found in records is Rodgers) was born to John and Martha Hill Rogers in Bertie, North Carolina in about 1745. There are trees that list a middle name of Hill, which was his mother’s maiden name, however no documented historical records have been found to date that list any middle name. It is also important to note that middle names were not common at the time he was born.
Josiah married Francis Hargraves. (NOTE: some family trees list a Josiah Rogers marrying a Peggy Mcelyes on 12 Sep 1814 in Wilson, Tennessee, however, that is not possible because it was after the death of the Josiah Rogers in this record.)
