Excerpt from Cody Rogers of Georgia Owing to the shifting of population, and general conditions that prevailed in the early history of Georgia, very little attention was given to family history and traditions, more than the record of deaths and births in the family Bible, consequently I have been unable to secure much information otherwise than from this source. I was fortunate in having the old Rogers' Family Bible, published in 1815, containing records that could not have been obtained elsewhere. Reuben Rogers, Sr., was living at least ten years after the acquisition of this Bible by his family. I am indebted also to Miss Sarah D. Hubert's genealogy of the Cody family, for some facts here recorded. I had some correspondence recently with a gifted Georgia lady who bears our family name. We could not trace kinship, but she wrote this: "The Rogers family of North Carolina are all said to be descendants of John Rogers, the martyr." At the February term of court, 1752, Northampton County, N. C., the will of Joseph Rogers was probated. The legatees were: John, Joseph, Aaron, Isom, Reuben, and Faith Rogers. It is quite a reasonable conjecture that Reuben Rogers, Sr., was the same as above; he was at that time seventeen years of age. No other merit is claimed by the author of this little volume, save an honest effort to place on record such facts as the family of today would appreciate, and which he believes will be treasured by others, when with us, the ramble of life has long since ended.
