Reverend John Rogers - Part 2 - Consequences of his efforts



This is Part 2 of the story of my 12th Great Grandfather, Reverend John Rogers.  After he published the Matthew's Bible, Queen Mary (aka "Bloody Mary") came to power and persecuted those involved with the Reformation.  John Rogers was burned at the stake for his faith.  A mighty legacy indeed.
