My mother.  I will give her a special page, which will be coming soon, probably on March 26!

No wonder I've always considered Friday the 13th a lucky day, my parents passed it on to me!

George and Mataley Rogers, San Antonio, TX 1936?

This picture of my mother sitting on a tree is the basis of my submitting this post to Sepia Saturday for March 23. 

We have trees in a park, and photographers busy catching the "best shots."

I've already given you about as much as I know about Annie Lou Gibbs Rogers Wilson (Here).

  Lucinda Benson Gibbs Rogers b.3.28.1818 Union District, SC (married 9.14, 1848 Bienville, LA to George Washington Rogers  b. 2.7.1820 Sevierville, TN, fought in Mexican War, d.1.26.1864?)  She was my paternal grandfather's grandmother.

Just so you think about the travels of Lucinda.  This woman went from South Carolina, and she as well as her brother married into the Rogers family from Sevier County, TN, then moved to Bienville, LA, where she was married (at a rather late age actually) and then to Huntsville, TX where she died on 9.22.1884. She gave birth to 4 children, 2 of whom lived to adulthood.

I always wonder how the Rogers clan got together with the Gibbs, then took off for LA, where many of them settled.  There is a town named after one of Lucinda's brothers, Dr. Jaspar Gibbs. Gibsland is now the celebrated site of the deaths of Bonnie and Clyde.  The Rogers continued into the territory of Texas and settled in Huntsville.

I also believe Lucinda originally received the Rogers family Bible upon her marriage, which has all the records of the family from 1794 to the 1950s, and at that time was in the possession of one of the Gibbs descendents.
