Biography
Parley Rogers, son of Benjamin and Alis, was born Aug. 11, 1735, in Boxford, Essex, Massachusetts Bay Colony.[1]
Perley Rogers of Boxford served under Captain Humphrey Hobbs from May to September 1754. He is not listed in Hobbs' company in 1755, when Hobbs marched through Maine to help the British evict Acadian settlers in Nova Scotia.[2][3]
The Perley Rogers in this profile was of Boxford in 1754. The assumption is that he married about 1755 and was the father of Perley Rogers (abt.1756-1842). Besides the names being the same, Perley was the first child of Benjamin and his second wife Alice (Perley) Foster, and the only son old enough to have had his own son by about 1756.
No marriage or death records have been found for him. No children other than Perley have been attributed to him. A Maine census record for 1810 is for his son Perley Rogers, so no residence records have been found either.
Research Notes
The Perley given name in Rogers descendants is assumed to have originated with Benjamin's children with Alice. For example, Benjamin's son Benjamin named a son Perley; he is the "other" Perley Rogers with a Revolutionary War pension application, and lived in New Hampshire and Vermont.
