ROGERS Family Research ~ under development
John Tarver, son of Samuel TARVER and Mary Boyce, married Sarah Rogers, the daughter of Joseph Rogers and Mary Fargeson. Mary also is identified as Mary Malone or Mary Gilliam by some researchers. I have her recorded as Mary Ferguson, dau. of John Ferguson and Ann Stubbleson, which I've taken from published genealogies. Additional confirmation is warranted.
Sarah and John Tarver lived first in Northampton County, and then in Johnston County, NC, where they both died. Sarah received a permit to operate a tavern on her plantation after John died in 1761. When Sarah died, their son Frederick operated the ferry. A younger son, John, chose Frederick to be his guardian. The younger children chose as guardians James and Faith Rogers Wooton. Faith was Sarah's sister. Sarah's brother, Aaron, and Mathew Lowery (her brother-in-law) were security on a deed wherein Sarah Tarver gave "for natural love" a 7 year old slave boy to her son, Samuel Tarver, in Oct 1767. See Johnston Co., NC Court Minutes.
Sarah's father, Joseph Rogers, died leaving a will in Northampton County, North Carolina, dated February 18, 1752, naming his children, among them, Sarah Tarver. Joseph, who was the son of William Rogers and Elizabeth Cartwright, and his wife, Mary, owned a plantation on the south side of Blackwater Swamp in lower Surry Co. Virginia (later Sussex County). It was here that their children were born. They moved in the early 1740's from Surry Co., VA to the part of Bertie Co., NC that later became Northampton County, as indicated by a suit brought by Joseph Rogers in the Northampton Courts.
Sarah's grandfather, William Rogers, died leaving a will in Surry Co., Virginia. In it, he named his son, Joseph Rogers (father of Sarah Rogers Tarver).
Sarah's grandmother, Elizabeth Cartwright, was left a wedding ring, a Great Bible, a steer given her by John Orchard, a steer given her by Richard Cartwright, and a breeding sow given her by Joan Bunnill in the will of her father, Robert Cartwright. She was married to William Rogers by September 7, 1686 when he receipted Hezekiah Bunnill for her property. Elizabeth died in after Nov 03, 1788 in Duplin Co., North Carolina.
William Rogers, Sarah's grandfather, was the son of John Rogers and Mary Atkins. John Rogers settled first in James City County, Virginia, where he was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1644 and 1645. He was living in Surry County by 1659 where he was granted 200 acres of land in 1666. On September 19, 1682, John appointed his "loving wife Mary Rogers, ye elder" his attorney. The testators were Josiah Slocum and John Rogers, Jr. On February 9, 1682/1683, Mary, wife of John Rogers Sr., appointed Edward Bayley her attorney to convey to Edward Grantum a deed dated November 23, 1682, for land granted John Rogers on May 14, 1666. Mary and her husband, John Rogers, both died In Surry County in 1685.
