Edley Rogers died in route between Arkansas and Hamilton County, Tennesseein 1860. His family was in DeKalb GA under E.H. Rogers in 1850, they then moved to Hamilton County sometime before 1860. Some of Edley's children immigrated to Arkansas where they lived by thier Rogers cousin's in Logan, Yell, and Johnson counties. (Varies by county line during that time frame.) Many of these Rogers descendants still live in the area. Edley and his family are rumored to be part Cherokee. His wife, said to have had the last name of Rodgers, was the sister to his brother's wife.I have more information to add to this family as time permits.
