Malinda C. Rogers Sources and Additional Information:
Malinda (Morning) C. Rogers was born 1827 in Marion County, Tennessee just after the family arrived there from Claiborne County, Tennessee.
She first married William D. Cozby about 1846 in Greene Co, MO after her father, Jesse Rogers, moved the family there in 1845. William was Morning's step brother and son of Samuel Cozby d. Oct 1826 and Mary Griffith who married Jesse Rogers 25 July 1835 in Marion County, Tennessee. William served in the War with Mexico. He entered military service at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas 30 July 1846. Served in Co. F, 2nd Reg't Missouri Mounted Infantry under Col Sterling Price (later Governor of Missouri and still later General in the C.S.A. army). William was killed while serving near Ft. Domingo, Santa Fee, New Mexico on 20 April 1847. Sterling Price was also the commander of the Confederate forces at the battle at Wilson's Creek that took place near where the Rogers were living many years later.
On 10 November 1850 Malinda C. married Marvin Tress Alderson in Greene Co. The only child that I have recorded is James Wesley Alderson b. 10 March 1867, but there must be more. Marvin T. Alderson served in the Civil War as a private in John Phelps Regiment MO Vols, he was present at the Battle of Pea Ridge. His US Pension was denied (#605337). This file contains statements by Rogers family members giving witness affidavits. Linda Thomas Alderson who provided this information has also found some homestead papers with Rogers affidavits. Melinda may have had a third husband, Floyd Robertson, who was also married to Malinda's sister, Sarah, but that is not yet well documented.
Malinda (Morning) Rogers was listed in the 1850 Greene Co Census as living with Jesse and Mary.
