"III. Joseph ROGERS2 (John1). It is not known when or where he was born, but either before his father came to this country or in Scituate; he married Abigail Barker, daughter of Robert and Lucy [Williams] Barker of Hingham (according to the history of that town), but certainly of Duxbury at one time; Joseph2 lived in Duxbury close to the Marshfield line and in that part which became Pembroke; he died in 1716, about June, and she, in 1718, about May."

"Marshfield, on July 4, 1670, gave to Joseph Rogers, Sen., of Duxbury, its interest in a certain parcel of land (four or five acres) at Mattachesitt [see Image/Map of Old Pembrook/Duxbury, MA] [Namassakeesett]. Town Rec. p. 124." [see Land Grant in Images] John Rogers of Marshfield page page 11.
"The will of Joseph Rogers of Pembroke, d. Apr. 10, 1716, and p. July 16, 1 716, describes him as "aged"; gives to Joseph, his oldest son, his meadow in Marshfield; to his wife, Abigail, land at a place called the cove in Marshfield [see as Cove Creek, North Marshfield] , his home farm, (except a small lot given to his son, John Rogers), his stock, &c., and other real estate ; gives a lot to his son, Thomas, and ten acres to his son, Timothy, lying near that which he already has ; to his daughters, Lydiah and Rebecca, twenty pounds apiece ; to the children of his daughter, Abigail Parrice, deceased, fifty shillings each ; and to his grandson, commonly called Joseph Staples, five pounds. He left the care of his son, Francis, to his wife, and after her death to be maintained by the children to whom his wife should leave the real estate.
He left the bulk of his estate to his wife to be disposed of to his children as she should deem most convenient, but it was his will that if his two sons, John and Thomas "do behave themselves kind and obligeing to their mother during her life, that after her decease all my said housing and lands, meadow and swamp, lying in Pembroke aforesaid shall be left to them." He appointed his wife executrix with his trusty and well-beloved brothers, John Rogers, Francis Barker and Robert Barker, overseers." page 11 John Rogers of Marshfield

Needs to be corrected prior to merge.
b 19 July1635 Duxbury and died 1716 Eastham,MA does not seem to be a match, after further search, to Joseph Rogers-12074. Rogers-12074 was of Duxbury/ then Pembroke when he died about June 1716 [see will info] Should this be a rejected match? I will disconnect the two Joseph roger for now. Adrian
