Uncertain Origins
Very popular is that Mary Rogers was born to George and Susan (Locket) Rogers of Grantchester, Cambridgeshire, England, in 1595.[1] In the records, however, it appears that Mary Rogers of Grantchester married John Everit in 1620.[2] So far, no other Mary Rogers is shown from Grantchester.
Another Mary Rogers was born in 1594 in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, to Bartholomew Rogers.[3]
Mary Rogers is said to have been 53 years old in 1635, when she emigrated to Massachusetts, making her birth in about 1582. In this case, she would have been 32 at marriage and 45 at the birth of her last child. This is possible, but not supported by the birth record if she was the child of either George and Susan Rogers or Bartholomew.
My point is that there are questions about Mary's origins, and more research is needed.

What evidence points to George and Susan Locket Rogers as parents of Mary (aside from a birth certificate from Grantchester for 1595)? Mary Rogers of Grantchester married John Everit in 1620 in Grantchester. A Mary Rogers was born in 1594 in Cambridge to Bartholomew Rogers. Any reason to pick George over Bartholomew, especially since Mary's marriage was in Cambridge?
