According to Colonel Chester, in Rogers Genealogy and the Candler Manuscript, 1863, Rev. Ezekiel Rogers did not marry Sarah Everard:

"Error I (p. 163).—Speaking of Rev. Ezekiel Rogers, s. of Rev Richard Rogers of Wethersfield, who removed to New England, Mr. Hunter says: 'Candler has preserved his wife's name—Sarah, dau. of John Everard, citizen of London.' Now, the MS. unmistakably represents Sarah Everard as the second wife of Daniel Rogers, brother of Ezekiel, by whom she had four children—Hannah, who m. Roger Cockington; Samuel, lecturer at Cree Church, London; and Mary and Margaret, who both d. without issue—her husband having had a s. Daniel by his first wife, Margaret Bishop."

Blodgette and Jewett, in Early Settlers of Rowley, Massachusetts identify his three wives as (1) Joan Hartopp; (2) Elizabeth daughter of Rev. John Wilson of Boston; (3) Mary, widow of Thomas Barker of Rowley.--jaques1724 20:54, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
