19.1 JOSEPH ROGERS (b. 1-23-1603, Watford, Northampton, England; d. 1-2-1678, Eastham, Barnstable,
MA) m. HANNAH UNKNOWN (b. 1615, Buckingham, Essex, England)

               From "Mayflower Families Through Five Generations", Vol. 2,
               1978, published by General Society of Mayflower Descendants,
               4 Winslow St., Plymouth, MA 02360

               Joseph came to Plymouth with his father in 1620 aboard the
               "Mayflower". In the 1623 land division, he received two acres,
               one for himself and one on behalf of his father. Joseph may
               have been living in the household of Governor Bradford with
               whom he received his share of cattle in 1627. Joseph was made
               a freeman in 1633 and was taxed March 25, 1633, just before the
               birth of his first child. On March 2, 1936, he was granted
               permission to operate a ferry over the Jones River near his house.
               On June 7, 1636, he was first recorded as serving on a jury. He
               was granted 30 acres of land on Nov. 5, 1638, and was made a
               constable of Duxbury on March 3, 1640. On this date, Joseph was
               one of the purchasers or "old comers" to whom land was granted,
               and on April 6, 1640, he and his brother John were each granted
               50 acres of upland. Joseph was one of a group of Duxbury
               inhabitants who were to lay out land on October 20, 1645.

               He apparently then moved to Eastham, then called Nauset, about
               1647. On June 1 of that year he was appointed lieutenant to
               exercise the men in arms there. He apparently spent a brief time
               at Sandwich in the early 1650s. He served on the council of war
               in June and October, 1658. Lt. Rogers was freed from his
               lieutenancy on Oct. 1, 1661, but reestablished June 8, 1664. He
               was a selectman at Eastham 1670. On Jan. 31, 1672, Lt. Joseph
               Rogers of Eastham sold a piece of land. No wife was mentioned
               in any of his deeds.

               The original Will of Joseph Rogers is no longer in existence. A copy
               of it dated January 2, 1677, written in the Plymouth Colony Record
               Book at the time of his death, does not mention his daughter
               Mary, but reads as follows:

               "I Joseph Rogers senior: of Eastham of Good understanding and

                Joseph's inventory was taken January 15, 1677, and the will was
                probated March 5, 1677. Depositions of Jonathan Sparrow and
                Samuel Berry show that grandson "Benjah Higgens" in the will
                was also known as Beriah Higgens. Son Thomas Rogers died
                before completing the settlement of the estate and so Capt.
                Sparrow and son John Rogers were impowered to handle the
                settlement.
