Notes	There appears to have been several families bearing the name of Williams among the early settlers of Now London county, each appearing to be independent and unconnected with the others. To compile a genealogy of these families is a difficult and perplexing task. There are, however, so many people at the present age who ore trying to find out their various ancestral lines for the purpose of forming a family tree or chart, or to ascertain whether any one of their ancestors were in the Revolutionary service, that they may thereby be enabled to join the " Sons of the Revolution," or "Daughters ofthe Revolution," that the genealogist is greatly helped by the information gained from these many sources of historical facts gleaned from every form of record to be found by these record searchers. "Thomas Williams," Miss Caulkins says, "appears in the plantation about 1670. He lived west of the river at or near Mohegan, and died Sept. 24, 1705, about 61 yearrs of age." The names of his ancestors she does not give, nor has any historian, since her writings, given any clue to his parentage. His age at death compares very closely to that of Thomas, son of Robert of Roxbury, whose birth is given as about 1644, but who, Farmer says in his "Genealogical History," died without issue. Farmer may have been mistaken, and Thomas of Roxbury may have followed the tide of immigration into Connecticut and settled in the wilds of Mohegan, and reared a family unobserved by the esirly historian. That Thomas Williams was a contemporary with Samuel Rogers is quite evident from the facct that Grace, a daughter of Thomas Williams, married Daniel, son of Samuel Rogers, while other members of his family married settlers on Mohegan lands. The wife of Thomas Williams was called Johanna __________; her maiden name has not been recovered. He died about 1705. His inventory was taken September 4th of same year. After his death his widow married Samuel Rogers, who died 1 Dec., 1713, leaving her again a widow.

[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.
