LEWIS JACKSON ROGERS
Farmer, section 26, was born in Clay County, East Tennessee, (This is incorrect.
Lewis Jackson was from Claiborne Co. There is a Clay County, Tennessee, but it
is not in East TN.) October 24, 1803, and came to this state in 1841. (His
son John Carr Rogers was born in Claiborne Co 19 June 1841. Either Lewis
came to Missouri before the rest of the family or they all came in late Summer
or early Fall and that is not likely.) Uncle Lew., as he is familiarly
called, is one of those genial old gentlemen who are appreciated in every
locality. Honest, high minded and noble, disdaining a mean act, he lives,
in his extreme age, enjoying the result of the principles he has ever lived to
maintain. His father was a preacher, and presiding elder of the M. E. Church and
a warm friend of General Jackson, and was his chaplain and spiritual adviser all
through his campaigns. He died in 1836. Lewis J. bought his father's
farm, on which he remained until! he came west. (I fear that this is
flavored with considerable spice. We have found no evidence of a warm
friendship with Andrew Jackson or that Dr. Rev. William might have been his
"chaplain and spiritual adviser".) He settled first in Platte
County, and five years later on account of sickness in his family, he located in
Lathrop Township, where he improved a fine farm and reared his family. His
estate embraces 240 acres of good land. Mr. Rogers married Elizabeth Carr,
of Claiborne County, Tennessee, November 6, 1824. Twelve children were the
result of this marriage, six of whom are living: William, David, Reuben,
Sarah, John C., and Mary. Sarah was married to James Strickland August 23,
1861, and they have five children, Molly, James, Ida, Emma, and Andrew J. Mrs.
L. J. Rogers died February 8, 1868, ages sixty-two years. His son, John C.
Rogers, was born June 19, 1841, in Tennessee, and received a good education at
the ! William Jewell College. He settled in Beaver Head County, Montana,
where [he] is one of the leading men of the territory. He was elected
senator in the legislature, and has ever taken a deep interest in the
improvements of the territory. Mr. Lewis Rogers is a lineal descendant of
John Rogers, who was burned at the stake. Like him, (We of course have
heard this tale before and know that there is absolutely no basis for it.) he
has always been a positive Christian, and a member of the M. E. Church. He
has taken a great interest in promoting the advancement of religion, and now his
main comfort is living after the principle inherited from his father.
