John Rogers or Rodgers (spelled differently in different censuses) was
in Perry Tennessee in 1850 with 10 year old George Bandy living with him
and his wife Annie. Also living with them were Emily Cagle, 10, and
Nancy Cagel, 40. There are Moore Co. Kagels, Pennsylvania Dutch. I don't know why these people were living with John and
Annie Rogers.
I suspect that Annie may be a Bandy who took her younger brother into her household. In 1860 George Bandy is still with the Rogers family at 21 years old, in Mulberry, Ark., so I am even more suspicious that he is Annie's brother. A George W. Bandy enlisted as a Confederate at Fort Smith in 1863, right age, and did not survive the war. John Rogers also disappears by 1870, very likely a victim of the war.
There are many men named George Bandy in the Revolutionary era and the early republic, many of the m of the same family.
What branch of the Bandy family had George around 1840 but could not take care of him? Dempsey Bandy disappeared from Rhea Co. about the right time. The Bandy genealogist thinks the widow survived, starting in Lincoln Co., then went to Arkansas and Texas, but this is not certain.
There are a couple of physician-Bandy men in Perry who would not have sent little George off with strangers.
Dempsey had an Ann of about the right age but she seems not to be the one who married John Rogers.
Bandy, Bandy, who knows about little George Bandy?
