I am looking for any information on the ROGERS, RODGERS family in Fulton, County, Illinois. Here is some of the information that I have:

George Washington Rogers:  Born 3/9/1856 in Fulton County, IL - Died
12/18/1939 in Omaha, NE

At 5 years of age he moved with his parents to LeSeur, MN, then came in a
covered wagon to Saunders County, NE in October 1864.  In 1886 he married
Clara Kingery and they lived in Yutan until 2/15/1919 when they moved to a
farm west of Ashland, NE

Parents:  Michael Rogers and Mary Ann (Kingery) Rogers

Michael Rogers:  (I don't have as much information about him)  Died 1895 in
Platte County NE  
He married Mary Ann Kingery in 1850 in Harrison County, IN.  They came to
Saunders County, NE in 1864 and homesteaded 2 miles north of Yutan, NE.  they
later moved to Platte County, NE where MIchael died.  Mary Ann returned to
Saunders County and lived with her son, Henry, near Memphis NE until her
death.  Mary Ann and Michael had 12 children but the only 2  with a record
are Henry and George.

I am stuck and am trying to get beyond Michael. He served in the 85th Illinois Infantry in the civil war and marched with General Sherman through Atlanta to the sea.  I believe that his father was Jenkins Rogers or Jenkins Rogers Jr. Some of these folks have added a  "D" in the name (RODGERS). Any help and assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and best regards,

Steven Rogers
