• Notes

  Capt. James Rogers, Jr. was born 15 February 1652 in Milford, Connecticut. James Rogers, his father, as well as all of his brothers, except Samuel became dissenters from the established church and became members of the early Rogerene Church that was established by his brother, John. He owned a great deal of land and also a tannery. His household articles were very numerous and very costly. He owned and was captain of a large ship that he ran between foreign ports and America.\His ability to navigate and command a foreign bound vessel at such an age (21 years old) is sufficient guarantee of the skill and enterprise of this youth." Mary Jordan was a passenger from Ulster, Ireland on this ship. He married Mary Jordan upon landing, and in after life he often said that she was the richest cargo that he ever carried. They were married 5 November 1674.
