Martha Ann Rogers Kendrick said that her father, Benjamin Rogers III (1821-1905), was the third consecutive generation named Benjamin Rogers. According to her, her father's father was Benjamin Rogers (1782-1862) and his grandfather was also Benjamin Rogers (?-1785). To add to the name confusion, Benjamin's brother, Samuel Rogers (1812-1886) named one of his sons Benjamin Francis Rogers.
Benjamin Rogers I was presumed to be born in South Carolina sometime before 1760. He married Mary (or Sarah) Jourdan (or Jordan) in 1781. They produced a son (Benjamin II), who was born in South Carolina in 1782. Ben I died in 1785, and his wife then married a Revolutionary War soldier named Eidens (or Eadens, who died in 1836).
Benjamin Rogers II (1782-1862) married Rachel Wallace (1790-1852) in North Carolina. They moved first to Kentucky (where daughter Martha was born in 1809), and they appeared in the 1810 Census living in Scott County, Kentucky. Then they moved on to Ohio, where sons Samuel in 1812 and John in 1816 were born. It is thought that they lived in Hamilton County, Ohio. They had eventually settled, by 1820, in Milton Township, Jefferson County, just north of the Ohio River in Southeastern Indiana. On March 28, 1832 Benjamin II obtained a land patent for a tract of 160 acres of land, which he proceeded to farm. His sons Samuel (80 acres) and John (40 acres) also patented land nearby.
On November 9, 1821 Benjamin Rogers III (1821-1905) was born to Rachel and Ben II. On February 8, 1843 Benjamin married Mary B. Malcolm (1821-1863). Ben III and Mary produced six children, but only the four females reached adulthood: Martha Ann Rogers Kendrick (1843-1919), Sarah Alice Rogers Danner (1845-1915), Augustus E. Rogers (1848-1852), Lealdes Rogers (1851-1852), Nancy Rogers Crowder (1853-?), and Rachel Frances Rogers Stone (1854-1942) .
In the 1850 US Census for Milton Twp., Jefferson Co., Indiana there were four farming families listed consecutively on the same census page: (1) Samuel Rogers (son of Ben II), (2) Benjamin Rogers (II), Rachel, and son Benjamin Rogers (III) and his young family, and brothers (3) Samuel Danner and (4) Levi Danner. Ben Rogers III's daughter Sarah would later marry Levi Danner's son John, both of whom are listed on that 1850 census page. That same Census for Milton Twp. also lists John Rogers (another son of Ben II, whose occupation is listed as a "Miller") and his family.
Mary Malcolm Rogers died in 1863. Two years later, Ben III married Mary Elizabeth Ruffner. Together they produced two children: Georgia Rozella Rogers Jenkins (1865-1914) and Jackson "Jack" Delno Rogers (1868-1946), who were both born in Iowa. In the 1870 and 1880 US Censuses Ben III and his family were living in Indiana Township, Marion County, Iowa, where he was listed as a Farmer. In the 1900 Census Ben III and Mary, were living in Knoxville Township, Marion County, Iowa, where Ben would die in 1905.
