This branch of the Rogers family claims descent from John Rogers, the Christian martyr. The immediate ancestor was Jeremiah Rogers (1633-1676) who settled first in Dorchester and then Lancaster, Mass.

Genealogy of the Chisholm Family written by William Chisholm in 1914, and tracing back the family history to AD 1254.

==================================================================
JEREMIAH1 ROGERS, whose parents are not known, was one of the first settlers of Lancaster, Mass. He married Mehitabel Pierce, daughter of John and Mary Pierce. She was born probably in Dorchester, and probably about 1630, as she had three children to whom her father left legacies in his will in 1661. When Indians, in Feb. 1676, burned all the buildings in Lancaster except the church and one house, all the inhabitants who were not killed or captured fled to Dorchester. Among the refugees were Jeremiah and his family, and he died there Sept. 26, 1676, probably in the small pox epidemic which had broken out. Lancaster records say Abiah Rogers, widow of Jeremiah, died at Dorchester, Jan. 10, 1678. She and two of her daughters, Abigail and Bathsheba, died of small pox the same month. As the birth and death records of their children in Lancaster all read child "of Jeremiah Rogers and Abiah his wife," that must have been another name for Mehitabel.

Jeremiah Rogers of Salem, wheelwright, Ichabod of Lancaster, cordwainer, and Jehoshaphat of Topsfield, tailor, conveyed their interest in lands of their father, Jeremiah Rogers of Lancaster, to Edward Phelps, May 12, 1710.

Samuel Trescott and Margaret, his wife, one of the daughters of Jeremiah Rogers, late of Lancaster, deceased, convey to Edward Phelps, land purchased of Abiah Warren of Boston, widow, one other daughter of said Jeremiah Rogers, May 21, 1710 (Middlesex Co. Deeds, vol. 15, p. 261).
