Biography

Giles Rogers Sr was a Virginia colonist.

Giles Rogers I (1645-1730); son of: John Rogers II (1609-1680); son of: Thomas Mathew Rogers (1565-1610); son of: Bernard Fitz Rogers (1543-1583); son of: John Rogers "the Martyr" (1507-1555) burned at the stake, 1554/1555; nephew of Thomas John Rogers (1587-1621), the Mayflower Pilgrim; He emigrated to Virginia, 1670 where he patented land, April 18th 1670; returned to England and married 1672, Rachel Eastham in England; he returned to VA., 1680, arriving in his own ship and settled on his land grant, on Dragon Swamp, Stratton Major Parish, King and Queen Co., Virginia.^[1]

The interesting situation of Giles marrying two different Eastham women (Rachel & Lucy) the same year of 1672 in England (according to different researchers) seems clear that something happened to Rachel and that the Giles children were born by Lucy, since the first female child was named Lucy after her mother. Most researchers agree there were 6 children.^[2]
