Lydia ROGERS to be continued Wilma Fleming Haynes gencon@harborside.com ISO information on my ancestor, Lydia ROGERS, d/o John ROGERS and Judith (some say FRENCH) m: Capt. Joseph WHITE, Sep 19, 1660, in Mendon or Weymouth, MA. Does anyone on the list know if Lydia (ROGERS) WHITE is a great grand-daughter of Thomas ROGERS of the Mayflower? I noticed files on rootsweb worldconnect that says she is, but they show no sources. Some have her father married to Judith and also to Anna CHURCHMAN. I was at the library yesterday, but ran out of time before I could research this in any depth. Lydia (ROGERS) WHITE is my 7th great grandmother.
