	Lieut. William M. Rogers was the son of Paul and Mary Rogers in the community of New Bordeaux in Abbevile County, South Carolina. He was of Huguenot descent, whose family emigrated to the back country of South Carolina in the mid-1760's. William enlisted and served as a 1st Lieut. in 15th Regiment South Carolina Volunteers Infantry. In July 1862, the 15th South Carolina was sent to Virginia in Brigadier Thomas Drayton's Brigade.
