Sir John Rogers, 3rd Baronet (31 August 1708 – 20 December 1773)[1] was a British lawyer and politician.
Baptised in Cornwood, he was the oldest son of Sir John Rogers, 2nd Baronet and his wife Mary Henley, daughter of Sir Robert Henley.[2] Rogers was educated at New College, Oxford, where he matriculated in 1724 and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts two years later.[2] He was then Mayor of Plymouth for 1728-29 and 1743–44 and Recorder of Plymouth (in 1744?).[3] In 1744, he succeeded his father as baronet.[4]
