ROGERS'S FORT. This lay on a tract of land between Buffalo Creek, east,
Cedar Creek, west, Shephardsville Rd, north and Boston Highway 62 south.
It
was founded by Col. James ROGERS who was born in VA 1742 and died in
Ky in
1828. KENTUCKY BAPTISTS, by J. H. Spencer, page 184, 185, 186 states
that James Rogers was an early preacher in Lick Creek Church. He was quite
a prominent Citizen of Nelson, and served in two of the Danville
Conventions." A history/genealogy column in THE KENTUCKY STANDARD, April
17, 1985, by David Hall, (Bardstown, KY) has the following on Rogers
Station. " Rogers Station grew from early land deal. William Bard put
together one of the earliest real estate deals in what is now Nelson Co.
In
1779, probably the summer months, Bard led a party out from the Falls
of
Ohio to view some "Improvements" grouped around the Buffalo Creek area.
He
was offering these
"land claims" for sale. among the group was Co. James Rogers who later
recalled some details of that trip.
In the spring of 1780 Col. James Rogers took permanent possession of the
preemption west of Buffalo Creek, a part of that area then called :"Bard's
Flat" Rogers Station rose in the wilderness and quickly provided
temporary
shelter for many settlers pouring into Nelson.
Not many of the names are known of those who lived here, but those found
included: James ROGERS and his family; his brothers Matthew, and Jonathan,
were there. Evan WILLIAMS and Wm KEITH were likely residents. Atkinson
HILL
was there before relocating to GOODIN's Station. Mesheck CARTER
and his
family and likely John RAY and and Joseph BARNETT. William BARD was here
in
1780.
This concludes this series.
