"There can be little doubt that John Rogers was born “about the year 1500, and probably at the little village or hamlet of Deritend, in the parish of Aston, Warwickshire, England, then in the suburbs of, but now quite surrounded by the city of Birmingham.” John Rogers, the martyr married Adrian Pratt alias De Weyden of Brabant, Antwerp, Belgium who was born in 1511, daughter of Weyden De Pratt, in 1536 at Branbant, Antwerp, Belgium. John Rogers was burned at the stake on the 4th of February, 1555 at Smithfield, London, England. From the visitation of Warwick, 1563 it is recorded that John and Adrian Rogers had eleven children, thus given: 1. Susan Rogers, born in 1537 at Branbant, Antwerp, Belgium who married John Short, merchant of London
2. Daniel Rogers, was born abt 1538 at Wittenburg, Saxony-Anhault, Deutschland. He came to England with his family in 1548 and was naturalized with them, by special Act of Parliament, in 1552. After his father’s death, he returned to Wittenberg and studied for some time under Melancthon, but came back to England eary in Elizabeth’s reign, and completed his education at Oxford where he took his degrees as early as August 1561. He was of Sunbury, county of Middlsex, clerk of the council to Queen Elizabeth (ob. 1591), married Susan, daughter of Nicasius Yetsworth/Yetswiert, clerk of the signet, and secretary of the French tongue.

3. John Rogers, born about 1540 in Wittenburg, Saxony-Anhault, Deutschland. He came to England with the family in 1548 and was naturalized with them, by special Act of parliament in 1552. It is doubtful if he left the country after his father’s death, as he matriculated as a pensioner of St. John’s College, Cambridge, May 17th , 1558, only about three years after his father was martyred. He afterwards migrated to Trinity College, of which he became a scholar. He proceeded B.A. in 1562-3, was soon after elected Fellow, and commenced M.A. in 1567. In some old pedigrees he is styled as “Proctor of the Civil Law,” but, in 1574, he was created LL.D., and on the 21st of November in that year, he was admitted to the College of Advocates. He married Mary Leete, daughter of William Leete, of Everden, county of Cambridge, D.C.L. He died 3 Jul 1601 at Moulsham, Chelmsford, Essex, England (will probated) was a proctor of the civil law.
