I frequently research collateral lines when doing Genealogy and am leaving this brief string if anyone comes along later and finds it useful. (Note: This particular branch of the family seemed to prefer the spelling Jestes, at least in the early 1900’s, so that is what I am using.) This is an update of a posting I made recently on the Jestes Board.
Bert Jestes b.Apr 1882TN (prob Morgan Co) married in abt.1902 Loula Rogers b.May 1883NC. Lula was the dau of Hugh W Rogers b.21Apr1831TN d.

This family is found in the 1910 Census of Dist 1, Morgan Co., TN, 1918 WW1 Draft Registration of Oliver Springs TN, and 1930 Census of Dist 1, Morgan Co TN. He was a Coal Miner.
William G Jestes b.14Jul1888 married 26 Jul 1913 Morgan Co. to Laura Rogers b.Oct.1898.NC and had 5 children known to me: Hazel b.abt.1915.TN, Bonnie b.abt.1917.TN, Eldia/Ilda b.abt.1918.TN/KY, Clarence b.abt.1920.TN (prob d.19Apr1981 Harlan, KY), and Louise b.abt.1923.KY.

1. Edie/Edy Justice b.abt.1898.TN married abt.1917 Arthur Martin b.abt.1894.NC.

Mitzi...I don't have proof, that is why I was asking the question. Eugene Justice of Morgan County, TN has written a book that is in the Anderson County, TN library. In his book he states that Moses was Abrahams father, I was never able to find proof of any connection (he had no source in his book) and just put feelers out for anyone who might have had. I, like you, do not think there is any connection, but am still open to anyone finding further proof. Thanks for your reply, Mary Dale

Mitizi, would you contact me on this Justice line. Of Abram's two son's, Squire and Joseph, I believe we descend from Joseph. However, I have several seen many other siblings posted to these two brothers. Our Joseph married Elizabeth "Betsey" Butler in Anderson Co., TN 1845. They were married by Richard Oliver, JOP of Oliver Springs. They had Michael, John, David, Mary, Sarah, James and Minerva as children, maybe more. We descend from Minerva. My husbands great grandmother. But we can find nothing on Joseph Justice. I know some of this line moved to Marion, IL, but I am uncertain if it was just Joseph Justive (1825-1901) or other Justices.

Notes:

Married:
In 1880, Hugh and Laura Rogers were living in Murphy, Cherokee, North Carolina. Hugh was born in North Carolina about 1830 and Laura was born in Georgia about 1838. Their son, William Roger, is shown in this 1880 census as born in Georgia, but in the 1930 census his birthplace is listed as North Carolina. Hugh Rogers is listed as a farmer while Laura is listed as a housekeeper. Their children listed are:
Samuel, 18 (works on farm)
William, 15
John T, 14
Isadora, 11
Lillian Lee, 7
George W, 2
Mabel, 21
Samuel Craige (Mabel's husband), 21
Mary Rogers, 83, Hugh's widowed mother. She is listed as "blind" in the census.

Both of Mary's parents are listed as born in North Carolina

Four of Hugh and Laura's children attended school--Samuel, William, John T.,and Isadora. However, the box to check "cannot write" was only checked for 11-year-old Isadora.
In 1900, Hugh and Laura Rogers are living in Murphy, Cherokee, North Carolina. Laura Rogers is listed as having been born in Tennessee in the 1900 census and in the 1880 census. However, her death certificate lists her has having been born in North Carolina.

By 1910 Hugh Rogers has died and Laura, head of household, is living with her son Samuel, who himself is widowed, George, listed as single, Lillian, who at 34 had not yet married, and a grandson of Laura's, Willie Rogers, age 10, is in the household. The census taker did not identify the parent of the son. They are still living in Murphy, Cherokee, North Carolina.

Laura is listed as having been born in Tennessee and lists her parents as both born in Tennessee. All three children and her grandson are listed as being born in North Carolina.

Both Samuel and George are listed as carpenters while Lillian is a school teacher. Laura appears to draw a state pension, although this has not been verified.

Although the census taker indicated the entire family could read and write, only Willie is listed as having attended school.


Samuel Varner Rogers' Find-A-Grave account lists William Washington Rogers, born 1900, as his son. In 1910, William was listed as grandson to Laura Rogers without identifying the parent(s).
Murphy, Cherokee County, North Carolina is in the southwest corner of North Carolina. Near Murphy the state borders Tennessee and Georgia. This may explain the different states family members have used in different census records.
In 1870, Hugh and Laura Rogers and 5 of their children, plus an additional young man are living in Columbia, Banks County, Georgia. The extra person is 17-year-old Jourdan Rogers. His relationship to Hugh is not given, but he is listed at the bottom of the census as if he were not a member of the immediate family.

In this census, Hugh is listed as having been born in North Carolina, Laura as born in Georgia, Mabelle/Mabel in Tennessee, Samuel in North Carolina, and William, John and Isadora are shown as having been born in Georgia along with Jourdan Rogers.

Hugh's occupation is given as Carpenter and Jourdan's as farm laborer. None of the others in the household were working.
