Eleazer Rogers (Freeman 1862, pp. 506, 5th Remove of Harwich). Freeman lists Eleazer Rogers as head of household (5th remove-Potanaumaquut-one of 14 families, pp.506). Incorporated March 2, 1833, the presidents of Barnstable County MFIC have been (Deyo 1890): David Cracker, Eben Bacon, Zenas D. Bassett, David K. Akin and Joseph R. Hall. The first secretary & treasurer was Amos Otis, succeeded by his son, George Otis, and in January 1882 by Frank Thacher. The Amos Otis Papers, I suspect, were kindled by his access to insurance data, and later edited by Charles W. Swift and published as Genealogical Notes of Barnstable Families (1888-90)..
