I usually do not look at find a grave as a source because so many are undocumented regarding their information. For some reason, I looked at John Rogers and saw this in the biography "The Gardiners of Narangansett page 13 reference GN 22 shows John Rogers and Jane Brown as the parents of Sarah Rogers that Married Benoni Gardner." https://ia804508.us.archive.org/5/items/gardinersofnarra00robi/gardinersofnarra00robi.pdf - Page 13 - do not know how reliable this is but at least it's something. Let me know what you think. Kathy
