THE HISTORY OF OUR ROCKY HOCK CHURCH PEWS: 
   IN MEMORY OF JOSHUA W. ROGERS & LUCY R. ROGERS 
   BY SON PAUL W. ROGERS 

  Joshua Wellington Rogers (1886 - 1953) was a member of Rocky Hock Church. 
He farmed all his life.  He married Lucy Rawlings (1881-1949) from the Cabin 
Point area.  She was also a member of Rocky Hock Church.  They had four 
children, two who died in infancy.  Their two surviving children were a 
daughter, Pearl Lucille (1915-1996), who married Ralph Seeley, and a son, 
Paul Wellington (1918-1964), who married Clara Bain.

  After living on several farms in the Little Surry area, Josh Rogers 
purchased a farm in Southampton County in 1936 where Clara Rogers lives 
today.  He also purchased a tract of land that was once part of Oakland 
Plantation.  In the late 1940's, Josh's son, Paul, purchased the Belle Meade 
farm adjoining his father's farm in Southampton County.  Every Sunday Lucy 
cooked a large Sunday meal for her family and any other visitors to their home 
that day, a tradition that their daughter, Lucille, continued with her family 
and friends until her death.
