In 1703, upon the presentation of the grand jury, the court summoned the reputed wife of John Rogers, Sr., be- fore them, declaring her marriage invalid, and sentenced her to pay a fine of forty shillings or receive ten stripes, and pro- hibited her return to her reputed husband under still heavier penalties. Upon receiving the sentence she came around to the side of the court, acknowledged her marriage illegal, cast off the protection and authority of Rogers and refused to re- gard him as her husband. Soon after this she escaped from the confinement in which she had been placed by order of the court and fled to Block Island, leaving her two children by Rogers with him. She was afterwards married to Robert Jones of Block Island.
In 1714, John Rogers was again married to Widow Sarah Cole of Oyster Bay, L. I., the ceremony being performed in

the State of Rhode Island. With this connection there was no trouble. He died of small pox 17 Oct., 1721, and was buried upon the bank of the Thames River within the bounds of his Mamacock farm, where he had set aside a place for a family sepulcher.

II. JAMES (6), b. 15 Feb., 1652, fourth son of James Rogers and Elizabeth Rowland; married 5 Nov., 1674, Mary, daughter of Jeffery Jordan. According to tradition, Mr. Rogers was in command of a vessel in which a number of persons called Redemptionists were brought over from Eng- land; among that number was a family by the name of Jordan. On their arrival he became the purchaser of the eldest daugh- ter, Mary, and made her his wife. In after years he was often heard to say "it was the richest cargo he ever shipped, and the best bargain he ever made." He became a dissenter as well as his father and all his brothers, except Samuel, from the established church. The origin of their dissent is supposed to be through an intercourse which began in the way of trade with the Seventh-day Baptists of Rhode Island. James Rogers, Jr., was the first to embrace the Sabbatarian princi- ples. He was baptized and united with that sect in 1674. He died Nov. 8, 1713.

The house in which he lived at the time of his death stood on the south side of the highway leading from the Congregational meeting-house in Montville to Haughton's Cove, a short distance south of the present residence of A. A. Parker, Esq. He died about 1771, aged one hundred and five years.
