Mary Rogers^[1]

Research Notes

Martha was the first wife of William Rogers. (?) MARTHA She was daughter of NATHANIEL ROGERS and MARGARET CRANE. She was born Abt. 1628.

A suite against Mrs. Mary Rogers, executrix of the will of Ezekiel Rogers, "is valuable and important, since it furnishes evidence that the wife of the Rev. William Hubbard was Mary, and not Margaret, as all our new England authorities have had it, and thus confirms Candler's statement, made in his account of the Knapp family. I fail to find the least bit of evidence, either that Nathaniel Rogers had a daughter Margaret or that William Hubbard had a wife bearing that name. This Mary Hubbard seems to living as late as 26 March 1685, when she joins her husband in a conveyance of certain land in Ipswich."^[2]

The testimony of Mary Hubbert. I can affirme that aftr my Father Rogers death my Brother Ezekiell Rogers was very desirous to have lived wth his Cousen Mr. Ezekiell Rogers of Rowley & he rendred this as ye reason, wth sundry complaints were made to his mother againt him, that he knew he could please him, if he lived with him, wch he knew he should never doe, unlesse he lived there, in regd that sundry informations would be carried to his Cousen agst him, sch he should be able no otherwise to prevent. And farthr I know that our friends did endeavour to insinuate so much into my Couzen, but were discouraged therefom by a report they heard from presseing it over farr, wch report was, that one nere to my Cozen should say, nameing of him by some appropbrious terme, that he should not come there. Also when my Brother lived with him before, he wore his haire longer, by my Cosins sufference, contrarie to my Fathers desire, then the rest of his Brethren; Father my Bro: rendred this as the reason why he was not willing to live constantly at the Colledge, because he had not convenient maintenance allowed, my Cosin not allowing above five pound a year at ye most. To the truth of wt is bove written I can attest upon oath if clled thereunto. March 31, 1665. Mary Hubbert." ^[3]
