Rogers came over on the _John_ of London, per Jewett, _Rowley, Massachusetts, "Mr. Ezechi Rogers Plantation," 1639-1850_. (I'm not sure whether "of London" means that they sailed from London, or simply that the ship normally "lived" there and might have made an out-of-the-norm trip from Hull.) This gives rise to all sorts of dumb jokes about myancestors having crossed the Atlantic on the john. There seems to be no extant passenger list, though there have been some partial reconstructions based on people's letters and such. I haven't seen the Jewett book in about five years and can't remember whether the Boyntons are on any of the reconstructions. It *is* known that the _John_ picked up additional passengers in...Salem, I think, but perhaps Boston...in the winter of 1638 before moving on to Rowley, so the fact that the Boyntons were there on arrival at Rowley doesn't necessarily mean that they left England with the Rogers party.
