THE ROGERS - TIDWELL FAMILY

Samuel Rogers was born in Cobb County Georgia to William and Frances (Simpson) Rogers. He grew up in Cobb and (later) Paulding Counties, in a farm family. He married Margaret Lucinda Tidwell, on 24 Oct 1878.

Margaret Lucinda Tidwell was the great-granddaughter of Siki Youngdeer (full-blood Cherokee) and his wife, Winnafred "Winnie" Tidwell ("white"). Her ancestry will be listed on the following pages.

Samuel and Lucinda lived for a short time with Samuel's widowed mother in Paulding County, but moved to Rome, in Floyd County Georgia soon after the 1880 census was taken.
