Notes for Daniel (Spouse 1)
• Son of President John Rogers of Harvard
• Graduated from Harvard in 1686 in his nineteenth year and first became the teacher of the Ipswich Grammar School.
• On the cold wintry afternoon of December 1, 1722, Daniel Rogers was returning to Ipswich from a court case in Hampton, got lost on his way to the ferry that crossed over the Merrimac, and took a wrong turn that led deep into Salisbury marshes. … his tombstone is inscribed with “frozen to death with cold as he was coming home from Hampton, loosing his way on Salisbury marshes" … Nighttime came upon him, and becoming increasingly bewildered and frightened, he called twice at the only house, asking for guidance to the ferry. Suspicion fell on one Moses Gatchel who lived in the house upon which Rogers had called in desperation. Gatchel had a bad reputation, and it was suspected that he had robbed and murdered Rogers. Gatchel admitted that Rogers had come to his home, and was even seen riding Rogers’s horse a few days after its owner was missing. He was arrested on suspicion and an investigation ensued, but no charges or indictment were filed, there being a lack of solid evidence.
