General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Rogers

---

Most authorities agree that the name of Roger or Rogers is derived from the word Hruod in Frank, Brother in North German, and Ruhm in the modern German, meaning fame or glory. The Rogers family is one of the most ancient and numerous in America; but the early records are very confusing. There were no less than eleven by the name of John Rogers among the seventeenth cen-tury immigrants. Savage, in his "Genealogical Dictionary," says that none of these, or in fact, not any of the early settlers of the name can establish a claim to descent from John Rogers, who suffered martyrdom at Smithfield in 1555, though many of them have traditions to that effect. Considering the number of the martyr's offspring it is surprising that more trace of them cannot be found. Among the many in this country by the name of John Rogers may be mentioned the president of Harvard Col-lege in 1683. Probably the earliest American Rogers was Thomas, who came over in the "Mayflower" with his son Joseph, and died early in 1621. It is possible that the line given here may be descended from him, but the name of William does not appear among the sons or grandsons of Thomas.
