Excerpt from John Rogers of Marshfield: And Some of His Descendants In the preparation of the article on "The John Rogers Families of Plymouth and Vicinity," I gathered many facts in relation to the family of John Rogers of Marshfield. Correspondence with Miss Rhoda B. Ellis, a descendant, developed the fact that she had material of the same character, gathered partly from the Scituate Friends' records, which I had never examined. These materials seemed worth preserving by publication; and it was concluded to publish them (with additions furnished by Miss Ellis or obtained from records of wills and deeds) under the title of "Some Materials for a Genealogy of John Rogers of Marshfield." We contemplated a small pamphlet of some forty pages. But when our design became known other descendants desired Miss Ellis to enlarge the work, offering to aid in furnishing material and in other ways. We acceded to these requests, and the consequence is that the pamphlet has grown to nearly five times its contemplated size. While very many have aided in the collection of material, I am under special obligation to Charles C. Whittier, Esq., 40 Dartmouth Street, Boston, and to Col. Hiram A. Oakman of North Marshfield, for results of examination of public and family records; and to Miss Minnie K. Bachelder, of the Probate Office, at Plymouth, for skillful examination of probate records, and accurate reports thereon. The arrangement may be easily understood.
