Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cody Rogers of Georgia
Reuben rogers, Sr., was a soldier of the Revolutionary War, having served in the command of Colonel Elijah Clarke, and took part in the memorable battle of Kettle Creek.
He was born in Northampton County, N. C., November, 1, 1735, and about six years after his marriage to Temperance James, which event took place December 15, 1767, immigrated to Georgia and settled in Wilkes County on Williams Creek. This location at present is in the extreme northern part of Warren County. He died there in 1829, having lived to the ripe old age of ninety-four years. He was once captured by the British, and held as prisoner of war about six months at Augusta, Ga.
His name is on the roster of Revolutionary soldiers, and on the monument to the soldiers who fought in the battle of Kettle Creek; and further proof of his services is attested by the Land Grant Books in the office of the Secretary of State at Atlanta, Ga.
He reared a large family, and their names appear else where ih these chronicles, the same having been copied from the old Rogers' family Bible.
Reuben rogers was a trustee of Amsden Academy, on Williams Creek, December 18, 1827. As reuben rogers, Sr., was at that time ninety-two years of age, I think this must have have been his son, reuben rogers, Jr.
