      Who did Hugh Rogers marry?
      According to Hunter1, Hugh Rogers married Elizabeth "dau of ... Portington, of Barnby on the Don". In turn, we know separately that Hugh's son Robert married Elizabeth Sandford and Elizabeth's sister Mary Sandford married Roger Portington of Barnby-on-the-Don. So there must have been somewhat close connections between the Rogers, Sandford and Portington families.

      The Portington family is in Ducatus2 where the Sir Roger who married Mary Sandford is shown, but not an Elizabeth who married Robert Rogers. Instead we see an Elizabeth who married Robert Mauleverer of Letwell in 1518. Dugdale3 mentions the same marriage.

      In 4FMG we find, in the Cressy pedigree, a note that Hugh Cressy of Letwell married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Portington of Barnby Don, widow of Nicholas Mauleverer of Letwell. Following this same pedigree, we see that Hugh and Elizabeth had a daughter, Mary, who is said to have married "Hugh Rogers of Everton and Maplethorpe, col. Linc". FMG too has an error as Elizabeth was the sisterof Thomas Portington and the daughter of John Portington and thus the aunt of Sir Roger Portington who married Mary Sandford.

      Fixing the various errors I think what actually happened is that Hugh Rogers married Mary Cressy, daughter of Elizabeth Portington (herself the daughter of John Portington of Barnby Don and his wife Mary Copley).
