Thank you to Contributor Mickey Grimm (47282012) for the following information:
"Captain Thomas Roger is a descendent of John Rogers (1686-1762) of King & Queen County, Virginia.
He wrote 4 letters to Lyman Draper in the late 1840's that are part of the Draper Manuscripts in the George Rogers Clark Papers. These letters were about the ancestry of a famous cousin. He listed his address as Lapsley Hall in these letters. In his will he stated that he owned "the Lapsley Hall tract" and had bought it from the widow and children of Rev. Joseph Lapsley. Draper contacted Thomas Rogers in 1846 because he (Thomas) was 1st cousin of Gen. George Rogers Clark, the founder of Louisiville, and known as "The Conqueror of the Northwest" because of his efforts in the Revolutionary War. Draper was interested in writing a biography on Clark so he contacted the living cousins of Clark for information. Thomas Rogers' other famous 1st cousin was William Clark of the Lewis & Clark Expedition.
Thomas Rogers' parents were:
George Rogers (1721-1802) of Caroline County, Virginia
Frances Holmes Pollard (1730-1798) of Caroline County, Virginia.
Thomas Rogers' sister, Frances Rogers (1768-1809) married John Underwood (1767-1815). So Thomas was an uncle of Sen. Joseph Rogers Underwood (1791-1876) buried in Fairview Cemetery."
