notes

COMMENTS: All eight parcels held by Thomas Rogers in the
Watertown Inventory of· Grants were, by definition, granted to him, and not acquired by purchase from earlier settlers. The homestall was the basis of his proprietary rights, thus resulting in the other grants of land. 90 Great Migration

In order for him to receive all eight of these grants, he must have been in Watertown by 1634. His stepson John Sherman succeeded to the proprietary share, holding seven of the eight parcels in the Inventory of Possessions and the Composite Inventory and being granted the Farm on 10 May 1642 [WaBOP 13, 31, 89, 138].

In his grants in the Beaverbrook Plowlands and the Remote Meadows, Thomas Rogers received five acres, implying that there could have been five persons in his household. Four of these are easily accounted for: Thomas Rogers, his wife Grace, his stepson John Sherman and his daughter Elizabeth Rogers. The fifth person could have been his other stepson, Richard Sherman, although this 'is not sufficient evidence to prove that he was a resident of Watertown in 163 7. BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: In 1987 Michael J. Wood treated this family as part of his study of the Ravens family of Dedham, Essex [TAG 62:65- 77, 161-70] . .
