The Rogerenes: some hitherto unpublished annals belonging to the colonial history of Connecticut
Bolles, John R. (John Rogers)
Rogerenes -- History
Peter Pratt. His scandalous book. The evident falsehoods in 321-341
that work. Proof of other intentionally incorrect
statements in the same. Later historians, including Miss
Caulkins, misled by these statements. Errors regarding the
Rogerenes in Backu’s “History of the Baptists.” Unreliable
traditions in Barber’s “Historical Collections of New
Jersey.” Errors by Mr. Field in his Bi-Centennial
Discourse. Errors by Mr. Blake in his “History of the
First Church of Christ in New London.” Marriages of New
London Rogerenes same as those of persons of other sects.
Marriages of Groton Rogerenes by a Quaker ceremony,
solemnized in Rogerene public meeting, after due
publication of marriage intentions. These marriages legal.
View of marriage among the Rogerenes; a sacred agreement
not to be annulled save for the one cause stated in the
New Testament. Errors by author of the Bolles Genealogy.
Seven different versions of the current anecdote regarding
lack of marriage ceremony by the Rogerenes. Serious
dragon’s tooth inadvertantly manufactured by Dr. Blake
