6438. Dea. John Rogers. Born ca 1631 in England. John died in Marshfield, MA 7 May 1717 [1718].60 Occupation: yeoman. Religion: Quaker 1660.

John of Scituate.25 John lived for a time at the place of Rawlins and afterward succeeded his father.53

John’s will was dated 9 May 1718, probated 24 Jun 1718.

From John Rogers of Marshfield:236
John^2 joined the Quakers in 1660, Deane says, but probably a little earlier, for John^3 was baptized in 1657, by Mr. Witherell, while Thomas^3 born in 1659, and Rhoda^3 born in 1661 or 1662, were baptized on the account of their mother, Rhoda, who had evidently continued to adhere to Mr. Witherell's church. Apparently his second wife, Elizabeth, was also a member of that church, for the record of the baptism of her daughter is “Mary, ye daughter of Elizabeth Rogers.”
The Friends' records commence in 1680, but a large number of births, which occurred before that date, were entered; among them all the children of John^2, except John^3 and Rhoda^3.
He took the oath of freeman in 1657, and is often mentioned in the public records for nearly sixty years after that date.
On the Friends' records (Scituate) is the following:
“Sufferings of John Rogers of Marshfield. 27 day of 2 mo. 1681, came the constable Joseph Waterman to my house and brought two men with him and brought a warrant with him which he said came from the magistrate John Alden. The constable could not read it nor any that were with him, it was so blotted : and the constable demanded of me 01-04-02, which he said was rates to the priest, Samuel Niles of Marshfield, the which I could not pay for conscience sake. Whereupon the constable seized upon a steare of two years old and took him away from me. — John Rogers of Marshfield.”
Those records have many similar entries among them, one by John Rogers^3 of Scituate, dated 26 of 3 mo. 1683, in which he says that the constable took away “two platters and two porringers which they prized at 11 shillings.”
On May 16, 1659, John Rogers^2 Jun., was chosen grand juryman by the town.
In 1692, John^3 was one of the Selectmen of Marshfield and assisted in running the line between that town and “the Two Miles in Scituate.”
On June 16, 1692, he was on a jury "to lay out and remove highways" in Marshfield; in their return they describe a way, which ran near the houses of the three brothers:
“And in the new way which said Rogers [John^2] lately made and so on over the cove creek by his house and so along by French’s tinnament and Henry Perry's house to the upper end of the field before said Perry's door ; and then turning southward along by the land of Thomas King and John Silvester's lot and so till it meet the Scituate way. And also by the cove creek downward as the old way leadeth by the house of Timothy Rogers and up the hill by his house, and so as the new way now lieth near to Joseph Rogers’ fence and so on to the line of Elisha Bisbee.”
On August 30, 1692, on the request of her husband it was voted by “The Meeting” to hold meetings once a month at the house of Elizabeth Rogers on account of her illness. She died two weeks later.
He and his third wife, Elizabeth, signed, May 11, 1699. the certificate of the marriage of his daughter, Elizabeth, at Friends’ meeting, after their manner.
In a deposition given June 16, 17 13, John^ says that he was seventy-nine years old or thereabouts.
In his will d. May 9, 1718, p. June 24, 17 18, he describes himself as “aged”; mentions his son, John, to whom he gives the three hundred pounds “which he hath already received of me in money and three score pounds more”; gives legacies to his daughter, Abigail Chamberling; his daughter, Joanna Butler; his grandson, Samuel Dogged; his granddaughter, Mary White, and his granddaughter, Sarah Allyn; the residue he gives to his son, Thomas.
Thomas King, in his will dated in 1691, gives legacies to his two grandsons, John and Thomas Rogers.
Mr. Witherell has, among records of baptisms, “1657 John, ye sonns of John Rogers jun. August 23,” “Rhoda, ye daughter of Rhoda Rogers, Aug. 30, 1662.”
In 1708, the Friends’ “Women's Meetings” were held at the houses of John Rogers of Marshfield, Edward Wanton of Scituate, and Robert Barker and Arthur Howland of Duxborough now Pembroke.

On 8 Oct 1656 John first married Rhoda King (6300) , daughter of Eld. Thomas King (2482) (ca 1613-24 Sep 1691) & Sarah Tinker (3005) (ca 1619-6 Jun 1652), in Boston, MA.52 Born on 11 Oct 1639 in Scituate, MA.52,62 Rhoda died in Marshfield, MA ca 1662.236

John and Rhoda were married by Gov. Endicott of Mass. there being no magistrate in Scitaute authorized to solemnize marriages at that time. He became a Quaker in 1660.53

6439. Joseph Rogers. Born ca 1632 in England. Joseph died in Pembroke, MA on 10 Apr 1716.

From John Rogers of Marshfield:236
Joseph lived in Duxbury close to the Marshfield line and in that part which became Pembroke.
Marshfield, on July 4, 1670, gave to Joseph Rogers, Sen., of Duxbury, its interest in a certain parcel of land (four or five acres) at Mattachesitt. Town Rec. p. 124.
The will of Joseph Rogers of Pembroke, d. Apr. 10, 1716, and p. July 16, 1716, describes him as “aged”; gives to Joseph, his oldest son, his meadow in Marshfield; to his wife, Abigail, land at a place called the cove in Marshfield, his home farm, (except a small lot given to his son, John Rogers), his stock, &c., and other real estate; gives a lot to his son, Thomas, and ten acres to his son, Timothy, lying near that which he already has; to his daughters, Lydiah and Rebecca, twenty pounds apiece; to the children of his daughter, Abigail Parrice, deceased, fifty shillings each; and to his grandson, commonly called Joseph Staples, five pounds. He left the care of his son, Francis, to his wife, and after her death to be maintained by the children to whom his wife should leave the real estate.
He left the bulk of his estate to his wife to be disposed of to his children as she should deem most convenient, but it was his will that if his two sons, John and Thomas “do behave themselves kind and obligeing to their mother during her life, that after her decease all my said housing and lands, meadow and swamp, lying in Pembroke aforesaid shall be left to them.” He appointed his wife executrix with his trusty and well-beloved brothers, John Rogers, Francis Barker and Robert Barker, overseers.

More from John Rogers of Marshfield:236
Francis^3 was evidently laboring under some disability and as neither he nor Thomas, nor any child of either, is named in their mother’s will it is quite certain that both died, without issue, between the dates of their father’s and their mother’s wills.
Robert Barker, whose children were Francis, Isaac, Robert, Rebecca and Abigail, in his will d. Feb'y 18, 1689, mentions his daughter, Abigail Rogers.
We have ascertained nothing in relation to the parentage or history of Joseph Staples.
Joseph and Abigail Rogers conveyed, May 3, 1677, to John Rogers, Sen. of Marshfield, meadow land at Jones's river. Deeds B. I, p. 220,
Joseph Rogers of Duxborough conveyed Sept. 5, 1699, to John Rogers Jr. of Marshfield, twenty acres of land in M. bounded East by the common land, west by land of said Joseph Rogers, south by land of said John Rogers that he had of his father, Timothy Rogers. B. IV, p. 51.
Joseph Rogers of Duxbury conveyed, Jan'y 24, 1706/7, to his son, Timothy Rogers of D., thirty acres of land in D. part of what he bought of James Ford of Marshfield, June 29, 1705, bounded on Hobbamock and Little Ponds ; deed witnessed by Rebecca Rogers, his daughter, and Thomas Parris, his son-in-law. B. VIII, p. 87.
Deeds Joseph Rogers of Mattapoisett in Duxbury to Michael Ford, June 19, 1705: Joseph Rogers of Duxbury to John Rogers of Marshfield, Jan’y 15, 1711: and Joseph Rogers of Pembroke to Abram Booth, April 16, 17 12. B. IX, pp. 231, 158. 371.
Joseph Rogers^2 and his son, Timothy^3 lived in that part of Duxbury which became part of Pembroke, while his sons, Joseph^3 and John^3 lived in that part of Marshfield which became part of Pembroke, incorporated in 1712.

Joseph married Abigail Barker (9480) , daughter of Robert Barker (3190) (ca 1616-bet 1689 and 1691) & Lucy (-aft 1681). Born ca 1657 in Duxbury, MA. Abigail died in Pembroke, MA on 11 May 1718.290

From John Rogers of Marshfield:236
Abigail Rogers of Pembroke, “widow and relick” of Joseph Rogers late of said Pembroke, deceased, in her will d. April 19, 1718, p. June 20, 1718, gives all her lands, &c., in Pembroke, to her son,
John Rogers; thirty pounds and her best bed and its furnishings to her daughter, Lydia Rogers; one horse and heifer, to her grandson, commonly called Joseph Staples; one heifer, to her granddaughter, Mercy Parris, to be paid when she becomes of age; and the remainder of her movable estate to be equally divided between her sons, Joseph Rogers, Timothy Rogers, her daughters, Rebecca Andrews and Lydia Rogers, and the children of her daughter, Abigail Parris, deceased.

6440. Ann Rogers. Born ca 1636. Ann died in Marshfield, MA ca 1712.

From John Rogers of Marshfield:236
Ann Rogers was probably born in Scituate; she married (1) George Russell, probably son of George Russell; he died before 1659; she married (2) John Hudson, who died about 1688, leaving her surviving him.
“Posy” and John Russell are mentioned in the will of their grandfather, John Rogers^1.
In an agreement dated July 2, 1673, between John and Ann Hudson, on the one part, and George Russell (the “Posy” of the will [“Posy” is probably a misreading of the written word “Gorg” or “Georg”]) on the other part, it is recited that Ann had been the “former wife of George Russell deceased,” and George was their eldest son.
John and Ann Hudson, Feb’y 4, 1674, gave to John Rogers a receipt for the legacies to Ann given to her in the will of her father, John Rogers, late of Marshfield, deceased; the receipt is witnessed by Joseph Rogers and George Russell.
John Hudson’s will (Nov. 20, 1683) gives all his property to his wife, Ann Hudson.

The Mary Hudson who was the wife of James Bishop was not a daughter of John & Ann Hudson of Marshfield since she was not mentioned among his daughters in John’s will of 1683.

Bef 1652 Ann first married George Russell. Born say 1637. George died in 1675.45

George, of Duxbury 1652, Marshfield 1657.45

There’s an article on the various George Russells in The Great Migration.14 In that article Anderson argues that George Russell of Hingham was not the George Russell who came to New England in 1635 on the Elizabeth, aged 19, from Hawkhurst, Kent. Instead, George Russell of Hingham arrived in 1636 and no further records are found from the George Russell who arrived on the Elizabeth. Furthermore, the George Russell of Duxbury was unrelated to these other George Russells.

Ann second married John Hudson, son of Ralph Hudson (-26 Sep 1651) & Mary. Born ca 1623 in England. John died in Duxbury, MA ca 1688.
