Bio

In the 1910 Oklahoma U.S. Census for Martin F. Rogers was age 40 and living in the town of Cache in Comanche County. In the Rogers' household are Martin's wife Lizzie, age 42, sons Wallace, age 16, Walter age 13 (both born in Kentucky), and Alfred Rogers age 6, who was born in TEXAS! This information means that Martin Rogers had moved from Breckinridge County, Kentucky, to Texas sometime after 1900 and before 1904, which is based on Alfred's birth on 23 October 1903. Martin left Kentucky with his brother Charles Lewis Rogers (Charlie), and first settled in Texas before moving on to Oklahoma. Martin's mother was Dicie Ann Weatherford who was the daughter of David Weatherford and Rhoda Lyons, and was born in Breckinridge Co., Ky. She married James Moreman Rogers on 8 Nov. 1859 Breckinridge Co., Ky. They had eleven children: 1. Alfred Rogers; 2. William Rogers; 3. James Rogers; 4. Jackson Rogers; 5. Fannie Rogers; 6. Thomas Moreman Rogers; 7. Martin Rogers; 8 Charles L. Rogers; 9. George Rogers; 10. Philip Rogers; 11. Mattie Rogers. After James Rogers shot and killed John and Tobias Rusher in Hancock Co., Ky on Feb. 11, 1876 over their illegally cutting down a bee tree on his farm, Dicie posted his bail by putting up their farm. When James Rogers left for parts unknown, the farm was sold by the court forcing Dicie to return to the old Weatherford farm, where she lived with her brother, Charles Weatherford. After her death from kidney failure on 26 May1914, she was buried in the old Weatherford family cemetery, which was once located on her father, David Weatherford's farm. Her grave was marked only by a field rock.
