"Mr. John Rogers, minister of the Gospel, was the first martyr in Queen Mary's reign, and was burned in Smithfield, February 4, 1555. His wife with nine small children and one at the breast followed him to the stake; with which sorrowful sight he was not in the least daunted, but with wonderful patience died courageously for the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
The maternal ancestry of Mr. John Rogers, the martyr, has been traced from English records from Charlemagne down through William the Conqueror, Henry I, Henry II, King John, Henry III, and Edward I. John Rogers was born in Deritend, England, in the parish of Aston, near Birmingham, about 1500, burned at Smithfield, England, February 4, 1555; married Adriana de Weyden, from Antwerp. They were the parents of nine children.
Rev. William Witherell of Maidstone, England, schoolmaster, Mary, his wife, three children and one servant, came into America in the "Hercules". The certificate is dated March 14, 1634-35. The mother of Rev. William Witherell was a daughter of John Rogers, the martyr.* John Rogers, father of John Rogers, of Marshfield, Massachusetts (with whom the American history begins) was a brother of Rev. William Witherell's mother. It has been said that he with his wife and child came to this country with them, in the "Hercules."
[* James Rogers, a great-grandson of the martyr, brought his Bible to this country when he came in 1635, aged twenty years, in the ship "increase." This relic has been fully established by its historical connection with every family through which it has passed. It is in the Alfred University of New York State.]

(V) Wing, son of John (3) Rogers and Sarah (Wing) Rogers, was born June 14, 1740. He became one of the pioneer settlers of the town of Danby, Vermont, settling there in 1770. His early home there was a log cabin standing in the midst of a small clearing, surrounded by dense forests that were filled with wild creatures ever ready to do them harm. He encountered all the difficulties and endured all the privations of a pioneer settler, being a resolute, fearless man, of a robust constitution that was equal to any task. He was somewhat eccentric, but of strong character and great industry, becoming one of the most wealthy men of his town. He was a birthright member of the Society of Friends, and was one of the founders of the Danby meeting. He was a member of the proprietors' meeting in 1776, and one of the committee to lay out land in the fourth division. With his strong mental powers, united with a readiness of performance and a familiar knowledge of his duty, he was often called upon to fill some office of the town. He was prominently identified with the measures taken by the inhabitants for the general safety of the town during the revolutionary war. He was selectman four years from 1776, and a grand juror in 1786. In 1790 he was elected a member of the Vermont legislature, then holding its session at Castleton, Vermont, and was re-elected for the years 1791-2-3. His eldest daughter, Elizabeth, married Nathan Smith, who inherited from his father, Caleb Smith, a farm of two hundred forty acres with a log house. The young couple planned to build a one-story frame dwelling, Wing Rogers hearing of this, invited his daughter to make him a visit. He brought out of a closet two large wooden bowls filled with tarnished silver dollars and asked her to help him polish them. When the task was finished he handed Elizabeth seven hundred shining coins, saying, "Now build the house two stories." The house was built two stories in 1779, according to date engraved on the thumb-piece of the door-latch. He married (first) April 4, 1764, Deliverance, daughter of John and Sarah (Booth) Chapman.

(VI) Deliverance, only child of Wing and Deliverance (Chapman) Rogers, was born January 15, 1766, and was six months old when his mother died. When he was four years old his father removed to Danby, Vermont, where he was educated and grew to manhood. He later settled in Washington county, New York, where he became a very large land owner and prosperous farmer. He was the first manufacturer of cheese in Washington county, and made the first shipments to the city markets. On his two thousand acres of land he maintained herds of cattle numbering many hundreds. After the war of 1812 he purchased many farms with their cattle and all improvements, selling them when warranted by their increased valuation. In 1818 he bought the "Hall Farm" from Dr. Hall, who purchased it from Benajah Hill, who built upon it a colonial mansion in 1805. He bequeathed the "Hall Farm" to his grandson, Deliverance Rogers (2), to perpetuate his name. He was an able, active, intellectual man, handsome in form and feature, with beautiful white hair curling down over his shoulders. Both he and his wife were birthright members of the Society of Friends; she was a dignified, intellectual woman, and served as cleric of the Danby monthly meeting of women Friends for twenty years. Deliverance Rogers died at the "Hall Farm," May 1, 1849. In his will he left one thousand dollars to beheld in trust for the public schools, to be divided between three school districts, Granville, Middle Granville, and North Bend; this is known as "the Rogers Fund." He settled each of his daughters upon farms valued at ten thousand dollars each, excepting Cynthia, who preferred cash and settled in Munson, Ohio. The remainder of his property he willed to his son David, whom he had previously settled upon the "Hall Farm," and who with his wife Hannah cared for his father and mother until their death.

He removed with his parents to the "Hall Farm" in the town of Granville, Washington county, New York, when he was about fourteen years of age. He became a large land owner and successful farmer and a well-known breeder of fine horses. On his farm of twelve hundred and fifty acres he maintained a herd of one hundred cows of the best dairy breed and eight hundred merino sheep. He was a large manufacturer of cheese, and during harvest season employed a large force of men, there being no farm machinery in that day to lighten and simplify the labor of the harvest field. He refused to hold any public office other than that of pathmaster, which he held for many years. He was diligent, upright and generous, and at "Hall Farm" extended a pleasant and abundant hospitality. He died there September 8, 1861, and is buried in the Friends' burying ground in Granville. He married, in Granville, New York, in Friends' meeting, September 13, 1826, Hannah, daughter of Stephen and Amy (Tucker) Dillingham. She died in Granville, April 5, 1885. Amy (Tucker) Dillingham was a greatly beloved minister of the Society of Friends, and there is a memorial to her in a book entitled Memorials Concerning Deceased Friends, published by direction of the yearly meeting of the Friends. of New York, 1859. Hannah (Dillingham) Rogers was one of the noted, noble women of Washington county, where her life of eighty-one years and five months was passed. She was a recommended and greatly beloved minister of the Society of Friends, and lived a consistent Christian life, filled with deeds of philanthropy and benevolence that endeared her to all.

The Thorne family of Granville now represented in Granville, Washington county, New York, by the children of Leonard C. and Hannah (Rogers) Thorne, descend from English ancestors who settled at Flatbush, Long Island, New York, at an early date.
(I) William Thorne was made a freeman of Lynn, Massachusetts, May 2, 1638; of Flushing, Long Island, 1645, with seventeen other patentees, under Governor Kieft; had a plantation at Gravesend, Long Island, 1657. William Thorne, Sr., and William Thorne, Jr., were Quakers, and pioneers of the famous and beautiful town of Flushing. There is another tradition that a William Thorne came from England and settled at Willett's Point, a valuable tract, then called Thorne's Point. This William and the William of Flushing must have been the same, as time and place both testify. The lands occupied by the ancestor William continued in the family until near the close of the eighteenth century. William Thorne married Sarah ————, and had issue.
(II) William (2), son of William (1) and Sarah Thorne, married Winifred, daughter of Henry and Catherine (Ellison) Livingston. William signed the remonstrance of the people of Flushing against illegal treatment of the Quakers by the Dutch (original on file at Albany). He became a resident of Great Neck, town of Hempstead, where he died about 1688, and was buried on his farm. Children:

Captain Jehiel Dayton commanded a company of volunteer artillery in the war of 1812. The company records were possessed by his son, R. G. Dayton, of North Granville, New York. The order directing the company to proceed to White Hall bears date August 1, 1812, and is signed by Lieutenant-Colonel Stephen Thorne, 4th Regiment, Second Brigade.

- Leonard C., of whom further.
(VII) Leonard C., son of Samuel C. and Maria (Hoogland) Thorne, was born at Glen Cove, Queens county, New York, December 9, 1833. He was well educated in the public schools. At the age of seventeen he entered the village store as clerk, remaining there five years. In 1855 he became bookkeeper for the firm of which his brother William was a member. He rapidly acquired expert business experience which, coupled with unusual ability, rendered him particularly valuable to his firm. February 1, 1859, he became a partner under the firm name of William H. & L. C. Thorne. In 1871 he became editor of a religious paper, The Herald of Life, published by the Life and Advent Union, with which he had been connected for several years. Finding the duties of the paper too arduous with those of his business, he retired from the latter in 1873, and confined himself solely to the management of his paper until August, 1877, when he resigned. In 1863 he assisted in the organizing of the Ninth National Bank of New York City, and was chosen director of the same. He held this position for two years, but the management not being congenial he severed his connection and associated himself with the Security National bank, of which he was chosen a director. He resided in Brooklyn, New York, and Orange and Bloomfield, New Jersey, at each place gathering about him warm friends from among the best citizens. His health continuing poor, he spent several winters in the South, and early in 1873 journeyed to Colorado, hoping there to gain strength. He returned in October of the same year and purchased a residence in Granville, Washington county, New York, which was his home until death, March 3, 1878. During his years of residence in Granville he labored not only for the material but the moral interests of the village, laboring for all that was right and manly, and assisting in the promotion of all movements tending toward the betterment of the community. No man did more to improve the moral standing of the town. He assisted in organizing the First National bank of the village, serving as director until his death. In association with other gentlemen, the Reform Club was organized. He was a strong advocate of temperance, and a Republican in politics. He was nominated by the Prohibitionists for the legislature, but fearing that his candidacy might imperil the success of the Republican ticket, he declined the honor. His funeral was held at the Friends' meeting house, and at no time in the history of the village have such honors been paid or such respect shown to the memory of any one. Every store, shop and office was closed; the officials of the bank, the officers and members of the Reform Club, numbering between four and five hundred, attended in a body. Such numbers assembled at the meeting house that overflow memorial services were held in the school house and basement of the meeting house in connection with the regular services in the audience room. Resolutions of respect were passed by the board of directors of the bank, the Reform Club, and other organizations with which he was connected, the banks and Reform Club buildings being both draped in mourning.
He married, April 11, 1861, Hannah Eliza, tenth child of David and Hannah (Dillingham) Rogers (see Rogers VIII).
