James ROGERS was born on 2 Feb 1615 in Stratford On Avon, Warwickshire, England. Other sources show his place of birth as Dedham, Essex, England. He immigrated about 1635 to New England. Probably a passenger in the Increase, from London He served in the military in 1637 in Connecticut. In 1637 he was one of six men from Saybrook, who under Capt. John Underhill, took part in the Pequot war. After 1660 he was a Senator in New London, Connecticut. After 1660 he was a Miller in New London, Connecticut. He died on 16 Feb 1687 in New London, Connecticut. He has Ancestral File Number 22NK-RF8. He has Ancestral File Number 1LV5-5H. He was Rogerene. See general notes. One LDS record shows him as the son of Thomas Rogers, Mayflower passenger, but this is proven to be incorrect.

His son, John, founded a religious sect called the Rogerenes, who were similar to the Quakers in that they abandoned long formal prayers and infant baptism, and embraced faith healing and pacifism.

Professor Camille Hanlon, traced the evolution of a tradition of principled dissent in the Rogers and Bolles families and their friends and followers. As Professor Hanlon has written, "The Rogers family came to New London in 1660, prospered in farming and trade, became dissenters from the local Congregational Church, and were persecuted for a hundred years before the first state constitution granted everyone religious liberty. Together with their neighbors, the Bolles family [and later the Waterhouse (Waterous) family and their associates], they stood their ground nonviolently throughout this long ordeal, speaking and writing eloquently for their cause until the majority accepted their views. Not satisfied with defending their own freedom, these nonviolent warriors were early defenders of the rights of persons of color, [steadfastly enduring] further persecution because of their actions on behalf of Native and African Americans."

The best known of the Rogers was John (1648-1721), whose father James had come to New London from Milford at the behest of John Winthrop Jr. to operate the local flour mill. In 1664, when John was still a teenager, James's success as a businessman had made him the wealthiest of New London's 105 inhabitants, wealthier even than his friend John Winthrop Jr., Governor of the Colony. Inspired in part by his father's religious dissent, John developed his own strong views on religious freedom and founded a controversial sect known as the Rogerenes.

In addition to freedom of religion (including separation of church and state), the Rogerenes espoused the equality of women and men, the abolition of slavery, peaceful co-existence with, and respect for, the Native Americans of the region, and temperance. The group identified itself with Quaker beliefs, hence the name Quaker Hill by which this area is still known, and for a time embraced the sabbatarianism of the free-thinking Seventh Day Baptists of Newport and Westerly, Rhode Island. As the New London community evolved, and the Rogerenes were gradually becoming less isolated within it, John Waterhouse and others established the Rogerene community of Quakertown in what is now Ledyard, across the river. Quakertown became a station on the Underground Railroad at mid-century, and in the second half of the century the Rogerenes became outspoken peace activists and sponsored annual conventions of the Universal Peace Union . As we enter a new millenium, the most poignant physical reminders of this remarkable sect are two humble burying grounds, one at Connecticut College, the other in the Quakertown section of Ledyard. The courageous spirit of the Rogerenes endures, however, in many of the most admirable characteristics of contemporary American life.
