QUOTE: Seated on the court in August 1672 when Charles Ashton's estate was being settled were Major Thomas Brereton, who married Jane Claiborne, and Capt John Rogers whose son, Richard, married Jane Presly, daughter of Elizabeth Thompson Presly. Rogers and William Keene lived at Cherry Point, the same area as the Ashtons. William Keene married Elizabeth Rogers, who later married a Banks and whose Will is probated in Northumberland in 1720. [Northumberland County Record Bk, 1718-16, pg 127 ] William Keene was the son of Thomas Keene (Keyne), a head-right of (Wm) Claiborne, who had been on the Isle of Kent with him.

Richard Rogers died in 1697. Will was proven 18 Aug 1697 by Mrs. Jane Rogers and Mr. Robert Banks, executors.

Will:

===

Richard Rogers' will was not duplicated in the book.

Children:

Jane Rodgers, b. 12 Apr 1686, Recorded St Stephens Parish.

Richard, b. abt 1688-90

John, b. Abt 1693, Probably named for a deceased son of the same name.

Hannah, b. abt 1695

His children, Richard, John & Hannah were named on 20 May 1703, when a commission of administration was granted to Christopher Neale and Jane, his wife on the estate of Richard Rogers. (S: Jane Presley Rogers remarried shortly after Richard's death)

None of the children listed as christened in St Stephens Parish records, as the children of Richard Rogers, were named in his will. They must have been born to a first wife, for Jane would have been too young. (S: Perhaps they had their inheritance before his Will. This was common, though many recorded all children's names without mention of a bequest.)
