Biography

"John [Richard's brother] remained in Chelmsford and earned his living as a shoemaker. Among his children was one who bore his own name, John Rogers IV we may call him. After being helped through Cambridge by his uncle [Rev. Richard Rogers], he became a famous Puritan minister at Dedham in the northern border of Essex, and it is from his son Nathaniel that the New England line has sprung.^[1]

Notes

Note N705His will, proved 3 July 1601, identifies him as a shoemaker, names son Thomas to whom he leaves his tools and inventory of shoes and materials, and after wife Joan, the freehold . He also names children Nathaniel, Susan, "daughter, wife ofWilliam Gryffyn" (Mary), and John (Rev. John Rogers of Dedham). (Waters, 1887).

Research by Chester ("John Rogers", London, 1861) and Waters ("Family of John Rogers of Dedham", in Genealogical Gleanings, NEHGR v. XLI, April, 1887) disproves the contention that John Rogers the shoemaker baptised 10 Sep 1548 (or the John baptised 21 Nov 1538), Rev. Richard Rogers of Wethersfield, and Rev. John Rogers of Dedham were descended from John Rogers "the martyr". Their research produced evidence that they were the sons and grandson, respectively, of John Rogers "the younger/joiner" of Chelmsford. John "the martyr" was in Europe at the same time that John "the younger/joiner" was raising his family in Chelmsford.
