INDEX
wager2002
There is some speculation that Jonathan Rogers is the grandson of Thomas Rogers, one of the Mayflower passengers. This is now believed widely to be false.
Paraphrased from the project of Mike and Ruthie Crandall (link below):
"Jonathan Rogers was baptized by Elder Hiscox, pastor of the Newport Sabbatarian Baptist Church, at New London, Connecticut, 2 MAR 1674/75. Naomi Burdick was baptized on the day of her marriage, 2 MAR 1677/78, at Westerly by the same Elder Hiscox. They lived on a farm on the Great Neck given to them by his father, which was afterwards owned by his son Jonathan and is still in the family. The stone house occupied by Jonathan, Jr., is still standing near the site of the house built by his father. Nearly all the members of the Waterford Sabbatarian Baptist Church are their descendants. This church was organized in 1784 by Elder John Burdick of the Hopkinton (Westerly) Church. Samuel Hubbard gave his grandfather's (Thomas Cocke, who was one of the Protestant martyrs burned at the stake 26 MAR 1555) Bible to his granddaughter, Naomi Rogers. She is supposed to have given it to Judeth (Rogers) Potter, wife of Thomas Potter, who in turn gave it to her daughter, Mary Potter. Mary gave it to Miss Mary Saunders, daughter of Peleg of Potter Hill. It is now in the Library of Alfred University, Alfred, New York, and is supposed by some to be the Bible of John Rogers, the first martyr."
