Dear List,
I just came across the post below at Claiborne County Queries. I have not contacted the submitter, Glenn Taylor, to see if he knows anything further about this Jessie Rogers. Perhaps Glenn is a member of the list??? Interesting story.

Jesse Rogers & Mr. Cawood 1878
Posted by Glenn Taylor <glenta@icx.net> on Wed, 28 Feb 2001
Maryville Index (Maryville, TN) September 18, 1878 Jesse Rogers, Clerk & Master, and Cawood, Circuit Court Clerk of Claiborne County, who are charged with murder of Ed Jackson, colored, for having criminal intimacy with the wife of Rogers, have fled the country. Cawood, who was recently re-elected as Circuit Court Clerk, was qualified on the 2nd inst. The body of the deceased, badly decomposed, was brought into Tazewell Wednesday when a warrant was procured for the arrest of Rogers and Cawood.
They refused to accompany the Deputy Sheriff who was sent to secure their arrest, and while that officer left for reinforcements, the two men escaped. Cawood subsequently appointed young Rogers as Deputy Clerk, who is now performing the duties of the position. Efforts are being made to secure the arrest of Cawood and Rogers, but nothing is known of either whereabouts. ---Knoxville Tribune

Note:  It is assumed that he was not tried or found not guilty as he is listed in the 1870 Claiborne Co, TN census with his wife and two children.  He is listed as "Clerk and Master"
