  [S3] A ROUGH OUTLINE OF THE VIBBER FAMILY of Montville, Connecticut from 1711 to 1975, Ruth Williams (Staples) Vibber, 65-66 (Reliability: 3). The Rogers History in Montville area is extensive and all Famalies and many progeny, marrying into all area families, and many outside ones. The men were in occupations relative to their times. Jehial's brother Alpheus, was a physician; his brother Asa moved to Hartford, CT in 1801, and was founder of Roger Bros. Silver Co., pioneers in Electro and Galvanic plating. Jehials's father, Alpheus, was second child of Daniel Rogers and Grace Williams. Daniel Rogers, born about 1665 at New London (eldest child of Samuel), married in 1702, Grace Williams, b. in 1677 daughter of Thomas Williams, and sister of Johanna (Williams) Vibber (Wife of John I). Daniel and Grace had five children. Samuel Rogers, b. 12 December, 1640 at Stratford, Conn., son of James Rogers; m. 17 October, 1664, Mary, daughter of Thomas Stanton (org. of RI), and Ann Lord, daughter of Thomas Lord of Hartford, CT. The fathers of each pledged L200, as a marriage portion. Samuel recieved his father and mother's stone house and bakery, at the head of Winthrop Cove, as his portion, where they began their married life. They later moved to the "outlands" of the town, in the vicinity of the Mohegan tribe of Indians, and became the first English settlers within the present limits of the town of Montville. They had six children. He died 1st December, 1713. James Rogers, b. about 1615, came from London, England in the ship "Increase" in 1635, first known in Stratford, CT., New Haven County, where he married Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Rowland. They moved thereafter to Milford, CT, where his children were baptised, ar Rev. Mr. Prudden's Church. With business in New London, they moved there, and were first in Mr. Bradstreets's Church, but became dissenters from the Congregational Church, and joined the Sabbatarians, and were afterwards called Quakers. Thereafter, little is known of James. He was supposed to be the son of Rev. John Rogers of Dedham, England, who died 1636. He died in New London, CT in February 1687-8, when Sir Edmund Andros was Governor of New England. His will was therefore proved in Boston, and sanctioned by the general court 12 May, 1692. Compiled from H.A. Baker's "History of Montville" "Vibber, Roger Families" and others involved by marriage, with genealogical trace-back to England, and Family highlights.
