Name:
"James Rogers and His Descendants": the parentage of James Rogers has not been ascertained and the place and date of his birth are unknown. Many of his descendants firmly believe the tradition that he himself said he was the great-grandsonof John Rogers the martyr. He was probably a native of England is supposed to have been born about 1615. He died --, 1687, in New London. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Rowland, in Stratford, CT. No record of her birth has been found. She died about 1709 and was said by her grandson James, who was her executor, to have been very aged.

The births of the children are recorded in Milford, CT., but this is not proof that they were all born there, as it was not unusual to record the names and birth-dates of children in the town to which the family removed, regardless of the place of birth, and it is probably that some of the children of James Rogers were born in Stratford, CT.

James married Elizabeth ROWLAND. Elizabeth died about 1709. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
