Noah is my great-great-great grandfather, I believe, via his son Artemas Henry Rogers. Please let me know how I might learn more of the Rogers of Tamworth and share such other information as I have which might be of interest. Thanks! --- Ed Rogers PS...My link to Noah Rogers was only discovered via my DNA!
