JOHN ROGERS, ESQUIRE.

A descendant of John Rogers, of Smithfield farm, came to America in the
early emigration. Can any one give any information as to the life and
death of a son, John Rogers, Jr., of Roxbury?

_Answer_.--John Rogers, Jr., or second, was born at Duxbury, about
February 28, 1641. He married Elisabeth Peabody, and, after King
Philip's War, removed to Mount Hope Neck, Bristol, Rhode Island, about
1680. He again removed to Boston in 1697; to Taunton in 1707; and to
Swansea in 1710. He became blind in 1723, and died after nine days'
sickness, June 28, 1732, in the ninety-second year of his age, leaving
at the time of his death ninety-one descendants, children,
grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He was buried at Prince's Hill
Cemetery, in Barrington, Rhode Island, where his grave is marked by a
fine slate headstone in excellent preservation.

PUBLISHERS' DEPARTMENT.

We propose to make THE BAY STATE MONTHLY an interesting and valuable
addition to every library--prized in every home--read at every fireside.
We want all who sympathize with our work to express their goodwill by
ordering the publication regularly at their book-seller's, or at the
nearest news stand, or, better yet, remit a year's subscription to the
publishers. After all, financial sympathy is what is needed to encourage
any enterprise. Next in importance is the contribution of articles
calculated to interest, primarily, the good citizens of this
Commonwealth.

And one feature will be to develop the Romance in Massachusetts Colonial
and State History. Articles of this character are specially desired. In
the meanwhile, the publishers invite contributions of works upon local
history, with view to a fair equivalent in exchange. New England town
histories and historical pamphlets will be very readily accept
