• Notes

  For many years prior to his retirement in 1666, he carried on by far the most extensive foreign and domestic trade of any man in New London. In 1660, he was made a 'Freeman'i n New London. After 1676, he was repeatedly subjected to fines and imprisonment for non-conformity to the rules of the established church. John Rogers and some of his followers, especially his sister Bathsheba, expressed themselves repeatedly by disrupting the meetings of the New London Congregational church, and as a result were often fined and jailed. This sect has become known as the Rogerene Quakers. —— Parents are uncertain. Many family traditions state that he is descended from John Rogers the Martyr, but this has not been confirmed.
