Rogers was born on November 14, 1877, in Allentown, New Jersey, the son of Samuel Hartshorne Rogers and Josephine Lincoln. He was a descendant of President Abraham Lincoln. He received his early education at the Central High School in Detroit. He joined the Episcopal Church while studying at the University of Michigan, from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1907. He also attended the Union Theological Seminary (1911) and then the General Theological Seminary (1912) from where he earned a Bachelor of Divinity. He was awarded a Doctor of Divinity from Kenyon College in 1925, and another from the University of the South.[1] On June 29, 1911, Rogers married Helen Clingen Speakman in St Paul's Cathedral.[2] He also received a Doctor of Sacred Theology from Columbia University.
