The author debunks the theory that John Rogers married Mary Byrd, and quotes from an 1856 letter from a granddaughter of John Rogers (which he had in his possession), saying “Grandfather, John Rogers, lived and died in King and Queen county. He married Rachel Eastham. She was daughter of Mary Bird, and that is the way Bird came into the family.”
