Baker-53780 History of Albemarle County", by Rev. Edgar Woods, 1901, pages 308-310:
ROGERS
In 1748 John Rogers, of King William, obtained grants of 400 acres on Naked Creek, and of 400 acres on Buck Mountain Creek. At the same time his son George was granted 400 acres on Piney Run. John further patented upwards of 600 more on Naked Creek in 1761. Neither of them however ever lived in the county. John died about 1768.

Byrd (sic Bird), another son of John, was for a time a resident of the county. He was twice married to sisters, Mary and Martha Trice, and had by his first two sons, John and Philip, and by the second one, George. He emigrated to Kentucky about the beginning of the century, and died shortly after.

Court Records in Albemarle list his name as Bird.
