Her given name is from the Haller book noted above, pages 41 and 42: "It was Barbara Rogers' lot to be always on her way to or from childbed in the intervals of managing a household that included not only her husband and children but her husband's pupils and their tutor." "When at last, not upon this but upon a later occasion, Barbara made her bed in the grave, her husband remarried, taking the widow with the several children of another preacher." Other undocumented reports have her given name as Mary.
