And then there is the Jimmie Rodgers that is the subject of this article, who was born James Frederick Rodgers in Camas, Washington in 1933. Although there is no relationship of any kind between any of the three, (ibid) it is possible that the younger Jimmie Rodgers was named for the older one as that was a popular name given to baby boys in the early 1930's. www.tsimon.com/rodgers.htm -

To the best of my knowledge, I think it's been firmly established that the Jimmie Rodgers who had the Honeycomb, et al, hit is not related to Hank Snow, either. If Snow had, as I seem to remember, a son whose middle name was/is Rodgers, in all likelihood it was in tribute to the Singing Brakeman.

Look at Merle Watson, late son of Doc's- named after Merle Travis, but no relation.
