Robert Henderson Rogers

Roger Moore writes:


I notice that you asked for the name of any relatives from Plantersville that served in the Civil War. My mother's grandfather, Robert (Bob) Henderson Rogers, served. My mother used to tell of sitting on his lap when she was a little girl, and he would show her his cap that had a bullet hole through it that was obtained at Shiloh. The attached file is a letter written by him to the Secretary of Interior asking for information about his grandfather, James Rogers, who served in the Revolutionary War. Although R. H. Rogers lived about three miles south of the present Plantersville, his address on the letter is shown as Verona. That confirms your comment about Plantersville not yet being founded at the time he wrote the letter. James Rogers died in Monroe County, near Aberdeen ca. 1843.
