  • Notes 
    • "Bernard Rogers, b. 1543-at Wittenburg, Saxony; who after receiving some education in Germany & upon reaching maturity, also returned to England, went to the northern part there of and finally crossed the border into Scotland & got his wife, where he is alleged to have temporarily settled and m. ab. 1564, N.N. (q.v.); and had known issue of a son Thomas Matthew--called after the nom de plune used by the Martyr in publishing the "Byble" (Rogers family traditions, corroborated by research of W. L. Underwood--when Consul, at Glasgow, Scotland; and by Dr. Wm. Byrd Rogers of Virginia--though he thought that the middle name, Matthew, might have come from the Furneaux ancestor; however, it is of little moment how he got the name--the main thing being that such a man lived."

      (by John Cox Underwood-published in 1911)

      There are those that believe that Bernard died on: 11 Novemeber 1563 in St Dunstan in the West, City of London ("England Deaths and Burials, 1538-1991," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JDHZ-22W : 10 February 2018), Barnard Rogers, burial 11 Nov 1563; citing St. Dunstan-In-The-West, London, England, index based upon data collected by the Genealogical Society of Utah, Salt Lake City; FHL microfilm 396,193.), the same parish that his brother, Ambrose, lived in, and that he never married or had children. And that his name was used in conjunction with Thomas Matthew as part of a fraudulent scheme in the 1900's to connect people with money, to a pedigree with Bernard's father, John Rogers the 1555 martyr.
