of Sir John Rogers, who acquired a considerable fortune as a 
merchant in Plymouth, which he represented in Parliament, and 
was created a Baronet, 21st Feb., 1698. His son, Sir John 
Rogers, the second baronet, the subject of this notice, was member 
of Parliament for and Recorder of Plymouth, offices which were 
held by several of his descendants. He married Mary, daughter 
of Sir Robert Henley, of The Grange, county Hants, by which 
lady he had issue seven sons and five daughters. Of the former 
two succeeded him; viz., Sir John Rogers, M.P. for Plymouth, 
d. s. p., and Sir Frederick Rogers, Recorder of Plymouth, ancestor 
of the present Lord Blachford. 
We have now to consider some representatives of the mer- 
cantile families of Plymouth whose right to the arms they bore 
was beyond question, often younger sons of county families, or 
whose descendants have acquired a recognised position as such, 
and among several of which there existed a blood relationship.
