Rogers Cemetery

A plantation family burial ground. Established by planter-stagecoach owner-area leader Edwin Green Rogers (1800-70?) and wife Nancy (Tuggle) on their home grounds, a Republic of Texas grant to Nancy's mother, Mrs. Sarah Mercer. A daughter, Lizzie Rogers (Mrs. Tom) Urey, chose site and was first person buried here. This became a community cemetery. Marker Sponsors: Mrs. Harry E. Simpson (Ethel Chadick); Mrs. James C.
