DC Notes: On p. 229, McIlhaney references a manuscript written by Mr. Arthur Lee Rogers entitled "Sketch of the Rogers Family," which the author states was written in 1853 and pub. in 1871. Based on the above, Arthur Lee ROGERS was the grandson of Mary COOMBS Rogers who was still alive at the time his manuscript was written. McIlheny does not specify that his source for Mary CHESTNUT'S maiden name was Arthur Lee ROGERS; however, if it was, ROGERS' source for CHESTNUT was likely oral family history from his grandmother and probably more accurate than that of grandson, William F. COOMBS, whose manuscript was written from memory 40 years later, and which states that Samuel COOMBS, Sr. married Mary WILKES [sic]. See also, however, Loudoun Co, VA records re Samuel Combs, Jr. and Samuel WILKES.
