The Rogers Shipyard

John Rogers of Marshfield [p 10]

On June 16, 1692, he was on a jury "to lay out and remove highways " in Marshfield ; in their return they describe a way, which ran near the houses of the three brothers : " And in the new way which said Rogers [John2] lately made and so on over the cove creek by his house and so along by French's tinnament and Henry Perry's house to the upper end of the field before said Perry's door ; and then turning southward along by the land of Thomas King and John Silvester's lot and so till it meet the Scituate way.

And also by the cove creek downward as the old way leadeth by the house of Timothy Rogers and up the hill by his house, and so as the new way now lieth near to Joseph Rogers' fence and so on to the line of Elisha Bisbee."

Timothy Rogers was among the first of that name we find in Marshfield. He was b, 1690, and mar, Lydia, dau. of Israel Hatch, of "Two Mile." She was b. 1699. Their son Israel,b. 1722, was a ship-builder. He mar. Bethiah, dau. of Samuel and Eebecca (Howland) Thomas, Dec. 31, 1747, and they took up their abode near Gravelly Beach, in the third house from the river. Page 203
