I have been searching for my great grandfather brother, Lewis C. ROGERS and I thought I had finally located him in Caldwell County. However, there seem to have been two men with the same initials in Caldwell County. One was L.C. Rogers, the other went by the name Lewis Cass Rogers and was also known as Rev. Lewis Cass Rogers, I have no idea which one is which. The Lewis Case Rogers I am looking for was born in Arkansas about 1848. The last information I have on him is the land records where he sold his land in Cleveland County, AR, November, 1881. I would really appreciate any help you can give me with this puzzle.
