Mentioned in 18371019BJS_WHS1 BJS writes: "I am thankful for the news you give me from Florida —Several letters have been received from there—the prominent point of which is, the burning of John "Rogers" at the axle of a stage—and the last one is no less so thatn former letters, so that it seems that your visit did not settle this embarrassing matter." From Wikipedia entry: "John Rogers (c. 1505 – 4 February 1555) was a clergyman, Bible translator and commentator, and the first English Protestant martyr under Mary I of England."
