Name |
John ROGERS [1, 2] |
- John Rogers m. (3) widow Sarah Cole of Oyster Bay, L.I. They were published July 4, 1714, in New London, and were married by Justice Ray, in Block Island, R.I. He was made freeman May 12, 1664.
John Rogers' home farm extended on both sides of the Norwich road, two miles from New London, and was called Mamacock farm, from the small rocky peninsula of that name which was one of its eastern boundaries. It was bordered for some distance by the Thames River. The central portion - Mamacock proper - was originally a grant to Rev. Mr. Blinman. It was but a part of his landed estate, much of which he disposed of in his life-time by gift. He was buried upon the bank of the Thames within the bounds of his Mamacock farm. This portion was set aside as a burial place, and was secured by his son John to his descendants for this purpose, by a deed dated Nov. 13, 1751. It has been crossed by the railroad, and a portion bordering on the rice was washed away by the great "September gale" (Sept. 23, 1815). A part of this burial place is still intact. [1]
