Rev. Richard Rogers married second Susan, widow of Rev. John WARD of Haverhill, Suffolk.

Note: Rev Richard Rogers is known to have been born in 1551, and died in 1618. His first wife's name is known to have been Barbara. She was probably born about 1551 or after. They had three sons (one died before his father) and four daughters.

Richard married second a widow, Susan Ward, who already had four sons and two daughters by her first husband. Susan and Richard had no children together.

Three of Susan Ward's sons - "Samuel, John, and Nathaniel - became Puritan ministers, and, in Laud's time, all ran afoul of the ecclesiastical authorities. Samuel distinguished himself as a a Puritan Lecturer at Ipswich, after losing a previous living in Suffolk." "Nathaniel went to New England, where he is known as the author of the first code of laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and also as the author of The Simple Cobler of Aggawam. Of "Edward, we know nothing. Probably he died in infancy."
