Great piece of information. I am very grateful for all the feedback. Now I am hoping to find where Eli and Lucy Rogers' son (my great grandfather) John Waitman Rogers (b 10/11/1879, d. 1907) is buried. He married Carey Mae Cain (b. 11/2/1888 d. 1965) on 4/5/1905 in Roane County but they may have resided in Reedy at the time of his death.

I also have run into a road block in tracking down Eli's parents, Benjamin and Agnes (Garrison) Rogers, born in Kentucky. I have tracked Lucy Spencer back quite a ways. Touching how her father, Capt. John White Spencer, was Eli Roger's captain during the Civil War in Company 8 9th W.Va Volunteer Infantry.

Thanks so much!
