NOTES:
N1  1900 Leon Co. Census shows Virginia Page Rodgers had 7 children by her marriage to Joseph W. Rodgers. Only six are accounted for in the family bible. Due to age gap between Mariah Lucresia and Sarah Elizabeth, perhaps a child who died in infancy was born between these two. However, gaps between other births leave room for a 7th child.
N2  Probably buried at Sardis Cemetery, Leon Co., Tx as they were living at Ephesus in 1900. (There are two apparent unmarked graves beside the marked graves of the two daughters of John Campbell Rodgers in the SE quadrant of Sardis Cemetery.)
