Ancestor Birthday ­ February 25th - Dorothy Rogers 1703/04 - ??

from Rowley Massachusetts birth records

Dorothy (Rogers) Jewett was my 6th great-grandmother. She was born 25 Feb 1703/04 in Rowley, Essex County, Massachusetts to Robert and Dorothy (Smith) Rogers. She married Benjamin Jewett 18 Jan 1724/25 in Rowley. She had one child, Mary, in Rowley. Then it appears that the family moved north about 1727 into New Hampshire to the town of Stratham . A family history, Hunting an Ancestor by George Anson Jewett written in 1914, states she had three more children there, Benjamin, John and Jedediah and maybe more. Some on-line trees do list more children.

Evidently she received an inheritance from the death of her father in 1730 since Benjamin signed a receipt for 19 pounds 8 + 4d as his wife's share in Robert Roger's estate.

I find this time period difficult to research. I haven't yet found a good source for her date of death.
