notes
From http://minerdescent.com/2010/05/14/matthew-beckwith/
Any meeting between John Rogers and Elizabeth Griswold could not fail of being dramatic. What exact circumstances were here involved is unknown; what attitude was taken by the woman, when these two men were at the same time in her presence, it is impossible to determine. But it is in no way derogatory to the character of John Rogers, that in meeting this wife of his youth, he gives striking proof of his undying affection. Ignoring her marriage to the man before him, forgetful, for the time being, even of Mary, blind to all save the woman he loves above all, he lays his hand upon Elizabeth, and says she is, and shall be, his. Under such circumstances, Matthew Beckwith takes his revenge in legal proceedings. When summoned before the court, John Rogers defends his right to say that Matthew Beckwith’s wife so-called is still his own, knowing full well the court will fine him for contempt, which process follows (County Court Record).]
John Rogers is fifty-five years of age at this date, and Matthew Beckwith sixty-six. Elizabeth is about fifty.
comments
"Found another book about the Founders of Saybrook 1635-1985 and in regard to Mathew it quotes Paul Beckwith, saying Mathew, Jr. was probably born at Saybrook Point in 1637. We now know from legal documents Mathew, Jr. was not born until 1645. His mother, Mary, would have only been 12 years old in 1637..."
