I am Ron Rogers. John Rogers is my direct bloodline and is my 13th great grandfather! Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower is my 10th great grand uncle! Thank you for sharing!
He is my 12th great grandfather too! How cool is that!?! This man is incredible! I have known about him for years but I just found out tonight my relationship to him.
I am a great grandchild of John also. Directly related on my dads side and all generations of my family have remained within a few hundred miles of where John lived & died.
Martyr John Rogers wrote this to leave with his Children💓.. Give ear my children to my words Whom God hath dearly bought, Lay up his laws within your heart, and print them in your thoughts. I leave you here a little book for you to look upon, That you may see your father's face when he is dead and gone: Who for the hope of heavenly things, While he did here remain, Gave over all his golden years to prison and to pain. Where I, among my iron bands, inclosed in the dark, Not many days before my death, I did compose this work: And for example to your youth, to whom I wish all good, I send you here God's perfect truth, and seal it with my blood. ... Abhor that arrant whore of ROME, and all her blasphemies, And drink not of her cursed cup, obey not her decrees. Give honor to your mother dear, remember well her pain, And recompence her in her age, with the like love again. ... Beware of foul and filthy lust, let such things have no place, Keep clean your vessels in the LORD, that he may you embrace. Ye are the temples of the LORD, for you are dearly bought, And they that do defile the same, shall surely come to nought. Be never proud by any means, build not your house too high, But always have before your eyes, that you are born to die. ... Seek first, I say, the living GOD, and always him adore, And then be sure that he will bless, your basket and your store. And I beseech Almighty GOD, replenish you with grace, That I may meet you in the heavens, and see you face to face. ... Though here my body be adjudg'd in flaming fire to fry, My soul I trust, will straight ascend to live with GOD on high. What though this carcase smart awhile what though this life decay, My soul I hope will be with GOD, and live with him for aye. I know I am a sinner born, from the original, And that I do deserve to die by my fore-father's fall, But by our SAVIOUR'S precious blood, which on the cross was spilt, Who freely offer'd up his life, to save our souls from guilt; I hope redemption I shall have, and all who in him trust, When I shall see him face to face, and live among the just. Why then should I fear death's grim look since CHRIST for me did die, For King and Caesar, rich and poor, the force of death must try. When I am chained to the stake, and fagots (bundles of sticks to set on fire) girt me round, Then pray the LORD my soul in heaven may be with glory crown'd. Come welcome death the end of fears, I am prepar'd to die: Those earthly flames will send my soul up to the Lord on high. Farewell my children to the world, where you must yet remain; The LORD of hosts be your defence, 'till we do meet again. Farewell my true and loving wife, my children and my friends, I hope in heaven to fee you a11, when all things have their end. If you go on to serve the LORD, as you have now begun, You shall walk safely all your days, until your life be done. GOD grant you so to end your days, as he shall think it best, That I may meet you in the heavens, where I do hope to rest. Rogers’ widow returned to Germany with her fatherless flock. It is probable that at least two of his sons became prominent Protestant leaders in England and America. Rev John Rogers (Bible editor and martyr) John Rogers (c. 1505 - 4 February 1555) was an English clergyman, Bible translator and commentator. He guided the development of the Matthew Bible in vernacular English during the reign of Henry VIII and was the first English Protestant executed as a heretic under Mary I of England, who was determined to restore Roman Catholicism.
I am proud to say John is my 12th great grandfather. I came looking for videos of him. Thanks for making one. I also decend from Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower from a different line. My Rogers descended ancestors that came to Massachusetts Bay Colony in the Great Migration in 1630s and were actually a family named Ayers.
Wow... look at all the cousins I have suddenly... My grandmother was Genevieve Rogers, granddaughter of Samuel St. George Rogers... I have so many artifacts from the Rogers family line that I had to buy a former bank building with a vault to store it all.... I love how you call him Grandpa like you sat on his lap as a child....
Hey cousin! If you ever wanted to share photos of the Rogers family, let me know. I have the ability to upload photos in the "memories" section of FamilySearch.
John was also my 13th Great Grandfather , We Have an early Mayflower invitation as a Rogers sent to my 4th Great Grandmother Thankful Rogers Clark of Windham and Branford CT, Telling Johns story
Just wow y’all. (Sorry, I’m from the south!) Did you also know that his story is told in the new England Primer, which can be ordered from Amazon. It is the first school book in the newly formed United States of America. Also a drawing of him being burned at the stake and a letter from him to his family. I posted earlier about him being in the replica of Noah’s ark in Kentucky, a picture and an original Bible worth $20,000. A hardback copy of the Bible can be purchased on Amazon for $10.
I will be having lunch tomorrow with Kyle Rogers the 10th Great-Grandson of the Rev John Rogers. Plot twist.. Kyle has no idea who his 10th Great-Grandfather is. But he is about to find out!
A quick google search will produce some great biographies.....and, if you ever make it to Washington DC, the Museum of the Bible has an original copy of his Matthew Bible!
@@dianemckinstry7304 Very interesting. John Rogers would have an extended family world wide because he had 11 children. So, if you are his 13th grandchild, you must be a generation younger than me.
