"Patience was the wife of Benjamin Marston, a merchant in Salem"

Patience was born to Rev. John and Elizabeth (Denison) Rogers in Ipswich, Massachutts. Her father, Rev. John Rogers (1630–1684) was the eldest son of Rev. Nathaniel Rogers. He graduated at Harvard University in 1649 in theology and medicine, and commenced to practice the latter at Ipswich. He was chosen president of Harvard in April 1682. Her mother, Elizabeth was born to Major General Daniel and Patience (Dudley) Denison in Ipswich. This Patience Dudley was the daughter of Gov. Thomas Dudley and his first wife, Dorothy Yorke.

Patience Rogers was married to Benjamin Marston (as his second wife) on April 15, 1696 in Ipswich. Benjamin's first wife was Abigail (Veren). She had died in Salem in 1693.

Patience and Benjamin had three children.

1. Col. Benjamin Marston (1697-1754), m1. Mehitable Gibbs on Jun. 24, 1725; m2. Elizabeth Winslow on Jan. 20, 1729.

2. John Marston (1699-1719), no record of marriage, died young at the age of 19 years.

3. Elizabeth Marston (1701-1784), m. Samuel Barton on May 29, 1737 in Salem.


From the pages of the "New England Historical and Genealogical Register & Antiquarian Journal For The Year 1873, Volume XXVII, The Marston Family of Salem, Massachusetts" it reads that...

"Mrs. Marston was evidently a woman of superior mind and character. One of her late descendants thus speaks of her: 'Personally of course I knew nothing about her; but this I know, that she came of a good family, and was no discredit to her relations, many of whom were distinguished in the early history of the colony. It may be believed that she was a dutiful daughter, a tender and affectionate wife, a loving mother, and an exemplary christian woman."

Patience outlived her husband by 12 years. She died in Salem at age 55, in 1731. She is buried in the Broad Street Cemetery.
