From Deane's History of Scituate:5
"John Rogers came into Scituate with Rev. Mr. Witherell 1644, and from hence we conjecture that he was a descendant of the Martyr of Smithfield. Family tradition also asserts the same. .... His farm in Scituate was a half mile south of Stockbridge's mill (now [1831] James Briggs's, alias Clerk Briggs's)." (Deane confused John with another John Rogers who married Ann Churchman.)
"John Roigers came into Scituate with the Rev. William Wetherell in 1644. He lived for a time in Scituate, but removed to the Marshfield side of North River in 1647."6
It is said that he sailed from London to Barbados in 1635; the ship lof of Falcon lists Rogers Jo-- age 34.102
