The Rogers were a religious sect founded in 1674 by John Rogers (1648–1721) in New London, Connecticut. They were opposing the Protestant church, refused to celebrate Sunday, as they perceived every day as holy, and also refused to pay taxes. They founded several settlements in Connecticut and New Jersey. This book was aimed to correct the record on some historical information about this family and its controversial leader. It gives many new details about the Rogers and Bolles families and documents many cases of people being jailed, whipped, and otherwise persecuted without due process for their religious views.
