Sir John Rogers, 6th Baronet
Sir John Leman Rogers, 6th Baronet (18 April 1780 – 10 December 1847)[1] was a British politician and composer.
Born in Plymouth in Devon, he was the eldest son of Sir Frederick Rogers, 5th Baronet and Jane Lillicrap, daughter of John Lillicrap.[citation needed] Baptised in Cornwood on 5 October 1780, Rogers was educated at Winchester College in 1795.[citation needed] Two years later, he succeeded his father as baronet.[2] Rogers served in the Queen's Bays (2nd Dragoon Guards), reaching the rank of Captain.[citation needed] From 1812 to 1813, he sat as Member of Parliament (MP) for Callington[3] and in 1838, he was High Sheriff of Devon.[citation needed]
In 1819, Rogers joined the London Madrigal Society and later, in June 1827, was elected the Society's first permanent president. He withdrew from this post in 1841 because of poor health.[4] During his presidency he wrote some ten glees and madrigals, psalms and anthems, as well as several other musical composition.[4] Rogers died unmarried and was buried in Cornwood. He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his younger brother Frederick.[5]
