Question: Where/when was Eli born, who were his parents. According to Leda Russell (1878-1974) (direct personal communication to me 40 years ago), Lois Whitney Rogers was descended from John Rogers the martyr (1507-1555), but I cannot find the connection. The above named Hannah Whitney was the daughter of Jason Whitney, who fought in the Revolution, in the Battle of Concord, and the Battle of Bunker hill.
