Biography

Cassandra was oldest daughter of John Rogers and Mary Leete.^[1] Her parents will have married after 1563, when his father gained a BA degree from the University of Cambridge.^[2][3] So she will have been born after that.

She married Henry Saris of Horsham, Sussex^[2][4]

After Henry died, she remarried to Isaac Pocock, on 11 January 1608/9 at St Margaret Lothbury, London.^[5]

Cassandra died in 1626 and was buried 21 October 1626 at Upper Beeding, Sussex.^[6]

Note

Henry Saris, son and heir of Thomas Saris of Horsham (who was buried in the Church of St. Andrew Undershaft, London, in 1588), married Cassandra Rogers. They had two sons. The first is not named, and appears to have died early. The second son and heir was named Edward Saris, and was subsequently of Billingshurst, county of Sussex. He married Mary, daughter of John Clarke of Chiltington, county of Sussex, and their only child, Mary, was not a year old in 1634, the date of the Visitation. The dates above given, and the rareness of the name—Cassandra—would seem sufficiently to indicate, at least, the extreme probability that she was the daughter of John Rogers, the Proctor, and grand-daughter of the Martyr.^[7]
