Hi Lynn, I have been searching for a Benjamin Rogers in CT, too, but this one was born about 1710 and lived in Lebanon CT. He moved to Whately MA in 1779 and died in Ashfield. He had a son George born 1739 Lebanon who m. abt 1775 prob. Lebanon Anna Brewster. They had a son Benjamin who married Mary or Polly Edson. I have no further info on him. It's possible we both have the same family, but different branches. Don't know if you can find anything in Lebanon, as I haven't found mine yet, but it might be worth trying.
