Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancestors and Descendants of Luke Rogers and Sarah Wright Brown In sending out this little volume, it is with much regret that I am obliged to acknowledge my inability to trace back the line of Rogers beyond John, the father of Abraham Foster, but I have found it impossible so to identify him as even to suggest, with any certainty, his parentage. There were numerous John Rogerscs in both Charlestown and Boston at the period when he must have lived there, some of whom were engaged in the invasion of Canada and the siege of Louisburg, but so far it has been in vain that I have endeavored to identify any one of them with this particular man of the same name. All the information that I have been able to obtain relating to him is the date of his marriage, and the fact that he must have died between May, 1777 (his youngest child having been born on April 1, 1778) and July 25, 1796, for on the latter date his "widow" Elizabeth purchased from Joseph Robinson the house and land at the "Lower End of Salem Street," Boston, where she died sometime prior to February 8, 1813, on which date her son, Joseph W. Rogers, was appointed administrator of her will, which was dated December 6, 1812, and mentions her sons John, Abraham Foster, and Joseph Warren, and her daughters Elizabeth Sweetzer and Sarah Sweetzer. I also regret my inability to continue the lines of Abigail Clark, Mary Toole, and Mary Ward, but I can find no clue to them, and it is my hope that some one may read this who can aid me in the search.
