I just bought a scrip note issued by a William P Rodgers in Kingston, Ark on July 25, 1862 and am looking for information on this guy and his business.

I have from the Madison County site a brief history of Kingston and have been given the details of the 1860 Madison County census.

State land records did not reveal anything, however, Federal land records show he received a land grant for 40 acres in Madison County in 1861. Another entry for a William P Rodgers is dated 1877 from Franklin County for 40 acres of the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of section 7 township 10N, Rage 26W.

Anyone know anything about this guy? Any info appreciated.
