My Family: Donna L. Rogers

My family includes the surnames of: ROGERS, PACE, GILBERT, LACKEY, SLEDGE, MASON, HARRINGTON, MODGLIN, RUSSELL, TWITTY, DUNCAN, GARNER, STINNETT, BUSH, MOORE, MANLEY, ATKINSON, FOLSUM, DURHAM, STANGLE, WITHERSPOON, MORRIS, HAMPTON, GREEN, NUNNELEE, JOUITT, McREYNOLDS, WEATHERSBEE, DAVIS, and many more. Most of what I know, is after their arrival in Texas, which began in Abt. 1836 in Fannin County. My fathers side of the family settled in the northcentral and eastern counties and my mothers family settled in the Port Arthur/Houston area. The states they originated from are Tennessee, Kentucky, South and North Carolina, Virginia, Arkansas,Louisiana and Illinois - as far as I know. I am searching for information on any of these families. I have a lot of info. on some of them that I would be happy to share and grateful for any help I can get from others. Being we can only have 5 family reports at a time, I occassionally change them, so please email me if a particular surname is not present. I also have an Ancestry.com website under the name of Southern Roots or search by name. Please check as I have updated that site more than this one.
