Awesome to see people posting videos and interested in Rogersville. I live in Surgoinsville which is right down the road but I love Rogersville its a large area because I got family on the other side over by Bays mountain and 93 right before Sullivan County. We love Tennessee!
Thank you my Mother is from Rogersville Tennessee. My mother's family are Jones. James Harrison Jones and Hattie Lee Cope Jones had 10 children. My Mother was the 10th child. Imogene is her name. I live in Florida and was at my grandmother's when I was 7 years old before she passed away. I have ALOT of family still there. I am 60 now and my Mother passed in 1999. I has always made me sad I never went back to Rogersville. You gave me a wonder visit today Thank you God Bless.
Man that’s cool. Thanks for the video! My wife and I along with our 5 kids are preparing to relocate to Rogersville from the Oregon coast (Oregon’s politics are getting ugly), just deciding on what job to take then looking for a house. We adopted 4 of our kids and they require medical specialists that are no longer in Oregon.
It is often claimed to be the second oldest town in Tennessee, but it is NOT. The Crockett grandparents were a family killed by the Dragging Canoe led Indians in 1777. However, Joseph Rogers didn't establish the town until 1789. One local historian told the Rogersville Review in a 1950 something story that Rogersville about 8th at best. Amis obtained all the Rogersville area land (but after the Revolutionary war) after the Crockett family deaths and later Joseph Rogers married an Amis daughter and then obtained the site from Amis, then had the town lots surveyed, and got the charter. Jonesborough, Greeneville, and Dandridge are absolutely for sure older. Please research it for yourself. However a hint, look at North Carolina records. I think even Nashville is older. If just the Crockett house before it was burned makes it a town, then what about the Watauga settlement, Blountville settlement, Harrogate, and Kyles Ford in addition to Jonesborough, Greeneville, and Dandridge.
