1 Morse's History of Sherborn. Possibly Rockett may have been in boyhood here in ser- vice at the fort. Ebenezer Humphrey born the same year was also one who " kept garrison," at what date is matter of conjecture. Dudley may have had a guard here to protect his property
before the English settlement, but there appears no record of soldiers here after 1713, at which time these men were 21 years of age.
2 Mr. George Miller in 1850 when digging the cellar of his late residence came upon the foun- dation of an old building, which creditable per- sons asserted was the site of Rockett's house. This fact is additional proof that the main road as originally laid out ran west of its present lo- cation and crossed the brook at the north end of the plateau, called " The prairie."

Richard Rogers; ROGERS, RICHARD, first schoolmaster of Ox- ford of whom there is rec- ord, of whose history we would like to know more than is now possible. Much inquiry has failed to ascertain his parent- age. A tradition gives his birthplace as Wenham. We have little by which to judge of his character or attainments. Some specimens of his handi- work, however, are extant which show him to have been a man of taste, and an expert in the line of ornamental penmanship. We first hear of him at Worcester where 14 Aug., 1732, he was appointed a schoolmaster; continued several years and removed to Ox., where he officiated (we infer from his remaining here) to the satisfaction of the people until his enlistment in the French war, 1760. In March, 1759, the town voted to accept of him as the schoolmaster. In deeds he was styled " scrivener." He m. Martha, dau. of Jeremiah Buckman of Sutton. He died early in 1761, inventory dated 3 March. It is inferred that he taught after his return from the war, as there was money due him for wages at his decease. His widow m. 28 April, 1761, Jonathan Town; she m. (3) 27 Dec., 1775, Isaac Dodge of Sutton, where she died.
When Mr. Rogers left for the scene of war he stopped at Worcester, and there made his will. From Fort Edward on 14 Aug., 1760, he writes to his wife :-
" I left my Will with Judge Chandler, who I gott to Write it and he told me he will not let you be impos'd on by any if I should do otherwise than well.
" My Kind respects to all inquiring Friends-I am in perfect health and strength, and not in any way Discouraged on any account-nor would not turn back till I have Seen more of this part of the World During the time for anything."
This letter is in the possession of Benjamin J. Dodge, of Worcester.
