I just looked at the names of 37 McCrosekeys on my Ancestry tree...none married to Rogers. I do add the married name for women as well as their maiden names, whenever I can. That way at least I know where they went in their lives. It doesn't work that way for men, so I can look to see if any of these men married a Rogers descendant. That won't take too long. (You've heard that before, haven't you?)
OK, my first task was including the 5 people whose names were spelled wrong, with a space between the "Mc" and the "Croskey". While doing that I added about 20 more people. I have no idea why these people were added several (maybe 5 times) because most of them were siblings with the same parents. I just was focused on the Rogers connection.
And the fifth Mc (space) Croskey was Elizabeth Clack. That's a great clue, because Spencer Clack was a Rogers ancestor. So I went over the the Rogers list, and sure enough Elizabeth Clack Rogers married David McCroskey. Yay me.

Time frame?
Elizabeth Clack Rogers (1805-1860) b. in Sevier County, TN
m. 1828
to David McCroskey (1805-1885)
And who were Elizabeth Rogers McCroskey's parents?
Same ones as Micajah Clack Rogers...namely,
Rev. Elijah Rogers (1774-1841)
m. 1794
to Catharine Clack Rogers (1778-1850)
The McCroskey family called her Beulah "Aunt Katy" Rogers...how that came from Catharine Clack Rogers, I don't really understand, but that's what they've put on the markers about her. The Rogers Family Bible doesn't have Beulah Aunt Katy as part of her name.
But now I know why I knew of that name! And my next project will be to reduce the numbers of McCroskeys on my tree by merging the duplicates. It's a good thing its a rainy night in North Carolina while I do this. I also have a lot of photos to scan, so I don't want to take too long doing this!
