      "William impressed Elder Samuel Rogers, a traveling minister, so much that several paragraphs are dedicated to him in his book "The Toils and Struggles of Olden Times". Samuel Rogers presented William's case to the board that ordained ministers and helped him to becomre ordained to preach, Oct. 1834.
      Mart Stewart remembered Elder Roger's ability to hold his audience attention. He also told how he would bring his gun to church with im to protect him from the animals. He also remembers that Billy had long flowing white hair and wore a heavy shawl in the winter. A famous sermon of William involved using a long rifle. He compared the rifle to the old and new testament. He stressed that you needed both parts of the Bible as you need both the fore and hind sight on your rifle.
      In 40 years of preaching Elder William baptized 2052 people according to his obituary in the "Louisville's Courier Journal". Another good accomplishment was having 22 children by his only wife, Abigail. Only 14 lived to adulthood. By his death they had given him 207 grandchildren.
      WIlliam as a mountain minister preached all along the Three Forks of the KY River. Brother Rogers was appointed in 1850 in the Old Ky. Christian Missionary as an evangelist in Owsley Co., Ky. which composed portion of Lee, Owsley, Estill, and Wolfe Counties Ky.
      In the "Lee Co., Ky. Centennial" in an articleon the Beattyville Christian Church Brother Billy Rogers from Clark Co., Ky. was the preacher responsible for the church organization.
      Another account has him in 1852 holding a successful revival at Proctor with more than 40 additions. They were meeting in an old house. After William and Abigail married Abigail taught him to read and write."
