Thanks for responding,
I am not sure I have an Igou connection.My fourth great grandfather was a William Rogers who died in then Marion County, TN c1849.He is buried at Chapel Hill Methodist Church Cemetery in present Sequatchie County.There is a family tradition that his wife was "Mary Igou", however some Rogers researchers STRONGLY disagree.All of the court records and census reports use the given name of Patience for his wife.Her maiden name is unknown at this point. She died c1859. I have wondered if maybe she had a double name of "Mary Patience" or something such as this.I believe this possible Igou maiden name tradition is too strong to completely ignore.
My great aunt, Eudora Shelton Rogers (1903-1989, married into another Rogers family, distantly kin), told me, wrote me, and wrote in a family Bible that William Rogers was married to Mary Igou.Her grandmother told her this on several occasions.Her grandmother was Martha Elizabeth Deakins before she married, and lived 1844-1924.She was a grand-daughter of Wm. Rogers and whoever his wife was.Mrs.Wm. Rogers died probably in 1859, therefore Martha E. Deakins was 15 when her grandmother died and would have been old enough to have known her well and to have known her maiden name.My great aunt Eudora took care of her grandmother as a child and young person, and was 20 when Martha died.I have no documentation on the maiden name of Mrs. William Rogers, but I can document the tradition.
Can you help?????
