This very wealthy woman was Bathsheba or Bathshua, daughter of James and Elizabeth (Rowland) Rogers and widow of Richard Smith before she wed Samuel Fox.

Bathsheba's children

Samuel Fox (the younger) b. 1691 d.1745. married (1) Hannah Fox in 1712; married (2) Rachel Rogers in 1714.

From frankleyn@@webtv.net

[Their son] Samuel Fox "the younger" - 1691-1745 - of New London Conn. (Great Neck) married 1712 (1) Hannah Fox 1693-1713 daughter of Samuel's paternal Uncle John Fox and Hannah Isbell Stedman (The Descendants of Robert Isbell of America); married (2) 28 Nov 1714 Rachel Rogers 1692-1754, daughter of his maternal Uncle Jonathan Rogers and Naomi Burdick.

Samuel (the younger) was named for his maternal great grandfather Samuel Rowland.

From The Rowland Genealogy.

Samuel (the younger) was not a credit to the family. Once he was put under bonds (imprisonment -Dictionary of The English Language - Noah Webster 1828) for abusing his wife; was arrested for stealing a saddle and for uttering (selling- Dictionary of The English Language-Noah Webster 1828).

Three sons Jonathan, Samuel and James were idiots and daughter Rachel had two idiotic bastard children, Ruel Brown 1740 and Ichabod 1746.

From "Thomas Fox of Concord and His ?Descendants", by William F. Fox (1909): "Widow of Richard Smith. ...and was the daughter of James Rogers, 'the wealthiest man in the colony of New London after Governor Winthrop'."

Also: "The troubles and differences which Samuel Fox had with his neighbors appear to have resulted from his marriage with Bathsheba. Her father, James Rogers, and his children also, as early as 1676, attracted attention by their declared opposition to infant baptism, and Samuel eveidently was a convert to their views."
