NOTE: Two additional children of Samuel and Mary (Stanton) Rogers are mentioned in James Swift Rogers, JAMES ROGERS OF NEW LONDON (Boston,1902), 41 (FHL #1035542 item 6): Ann, b. 1666, died young; Joseph, b.1670, no further record. No documentation has been found for either child. Rogers also states that Ann and Elizabeth are twins, born 8 May 1673. This is unlikely, as Ann is recorded in vital records, while Elizabeth is not.

Daniel married Williams, Grace on 24 Sep 1702 in New London,New London,CT. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

BIRTH: No birth rec found. Samuel is identified in the will of his father, James Rogers of New London, 11 Nov 1683, no probate act, New London Disrict Probate, A:208-209 (FHL #005111).

Notes:

BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. He may be the Thomas Stanton who sailed to Virginia on the ship "Bonaventure" in 1635, age 20. See Peter Wilson Coldham, THE COMPLETE BOOK OF EMIGRANTS (Baltimore, 1987), 121-23 (FHL #973 W2col). Many histories of the Rogers family claim Thomas was first in Virginia for a brief period, although these claims may be a result of the ship list.
MAR: No mar rec found. Thomas's wife is undoubedly the Anna Stanton whose nuncupative will was recorded on 14 Sep 1688. Notice to show cause, 16 Apr 1711, indicates she is the mother of the children of Thomas Stanton proved in other documents (New London District Probate Files, #5038 [FHL #1025050]). The will of Dorothy Lord of Hartford, 8 Feb 1669, proved 14 May 1675, mentions "my daughter Stanton." See abstract from Hartford District Probate in Charles W. Manwaring, ed, DIGEST OF THE EARLY CONNECTICUT PROBATE RECORDS, 3 vols. (Hartford, 1904-1906), 1:215-16 (FHL #974.5 P2m). Although her given name is not mentioned in the will, she is evidently Thomas Stanton's wife Anna, dau of Thomas and Dorothy Lord.
