Abstract:
Responding to Felt's request for information on the "descent of Rev. Nath[aniel] Rogers of Ipswich, from the proto-martyr." Provides genealogical data and references, including Benjamin Brook's Lives of the Puritans and other books, memorandum books, word of mouth, personal papers, gravestones. Notes Rev. Dr. Bentley bequeathing "what is supposed to be the original portrait of the martyr" to the Worcester Antiquarian Society. Mentions the "Bible which is said to have belonged to the martyr," and its various owners. Traces Mr. Savage's doubt to "an inadvertent statement of Mr. Hunter (the famous N.E. Historian Antiquarian in his communication to the Hist. Society in his article on the Suffolk emigration to N.E.) that Richd of W. & John of D. were brothers & that he has been unable to trace their descent from the martyr." Mr. Hunter has since become convinced of the "truth of the tradition."
