Additional information regarding the family of Thomas Rogers. His father, Burgess,
originally from Virginia (b. ~`1771 Culpeper Co.) moved after marrying Sophia Miller (b.
~1771 Lancaster Co, PA) to Clark Co., KY. Burgess died in Nov. 1840 Putnum Co. IN. Not
much is know at this point regarding the family of Burgess' parents. In fact more is
known about Sophia than Burgess which is an odd twist in genealogy. Sophia was the second
to the youngest of Henry Miller and Susanna Sibler. Henry met and married Susanna in
Lancaster Co., PA. There they resided until just before the Revolutionary War when they
moved to Mt. Pony, Culpeper Co. VA. Henry served with the Virginia Militia. I don't
know if his family has been recorded with the DAR, but it would be interesting to find
out. Henry and family ended up in Rappahannock Co., VA. Henry and Susanna are classified
as a Germanna Colonist even though they are not original settlers, but their kids did
marry descendents of them. Both Henr!
y and Susanna are German immigrants.

You probably have most of this info already, but just in case...
My lineage is Thomas L. thru his son Andrew (or AJ)
I only have a partial list of Thomas' kids and would like to connect with anyone who
has the full list. Also would like to connect to any family researcher who has been
successful in breaking Burgess' brick wall.
