He continued in actual service until the conclusion of the war; and was more than 3 years of the time in the service under the "Swamp Fox" General Francis Marion. He was also said to have served under General Richardson & General Thomas Sumter.

Note 7/3/20 - for some reason, F/A/G has merged information they received from another unnamed contributor into this memorial which creates duplication and mismatch to dates and spouse information which I cannot reconcile. My previous information indicates Shadrack Meshack Abednego Rogers 34658625 was married to Hope Tatum 14581883 with information indicating they were married either in South Carolina or Mississippi, leading me to suggest that there may have been 2 Shadrack's living in these 2 states. There were also Shadrack Jr. with different dates or attaching them to the Hope Tatum Shadrack causes different children born same year which further leads toward there being 2 different Shadrack's. Also, I have Shad Jr. b. 1791 d. 1851 indicated as married twice to Margaret Knighton 1811-1847 d. E. Feliciana, LA no memorial found and second marriage to Elizabeth Gordon/Jordan/ or Taylor as compared to Shadrach 142694870 married to Celia Jordan 142695099. The spelling of Rogers/Rodgers also adds confusion to the correct placement of these individuals, possibly cross linking children to incorrect Shadrack/h. Celia Jordan appears to be indicated in the revised bio added by F/A/G to possibly an incorrect Shadrack/h. I do not have information that will unravel this problem.
