John Rogerson (1648–1724)
Sir John Rogerson (1648–1724) was an Irish politician, wealthy merchant and property developer. Very little is known about his family background or his early life, except that he was born in the Dutch Republic in 1648, and that his father was named Francis. The Rogerson family were probably recent arrivals in Ireland, and may have been political exiles from the political troubles of the 1640s. He lived in London in the late 1660s. He is recorded as a householder of Dublin from 1674, by which time he was already in business as a merchant. How precisely he made his money is not clear, but there is no doubt that he became a very rich man, with a reputation for being "hard-nosed" in his business dealings. The wealthy and well-connected Susan, Lady Belasyse, who had lent him substantial sums of money, found that he simply refused to repay them, and a lawsuit over the money dragged on until her death. He was elected Lord Mayor of Dublin in 1693–94 and represented Clogher i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lord Mayor Of London
The Lord Mayor of London is the mayor of the City of London, England, and the leader of the City of London Corporation. Within the City, the Lord Mayor is accorded precedence over all individuals except the sovereign and retains various traditional powers, rights, and privileges, including the title and style ''The Right Honourable Lord Mayor of London''. One of the world's oldest continuously elected civic offices, it is entirely separate from the directly elected mayor of London, a political office controlling a budget which covers the much larger area of Greater London. Alastair King serves as the 696th Lord Mayor (for 2024–2025). The Corporation of London changed its name to the City of London Corporation in 2006, and accordingly the title Lord Mayor of the City of London was introduced, so as to avoid confusion with that of Mayor of London. The legal and commonly used title remains ''Lord Mayor of London''. The Lord mayor is elected at ''Common Hall'' each year on Mi ...

He was the second son of Ralph Probie and Alice Bernard of Brampton, Cambridgeshire.
