The Rogers Baronetcy, of Wisdome in the County of Devon, was a title in the
Permanent Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies from 1860 to 1871. In 1871 he was elevated to the Peerage of the United Kingdom
as Baron Blachford, of Wisdome and of Blachford in the County of Devon (Blachford House, Cornwood, near Ivybridge). He died childless in 1889 when the barony became extinct. He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his younger brother, the ninth Baronet. The latter was in his turn succeeded by another brother, the tenth Baronet, on whose death in 1895 the baronetcy became extinct as well.
William Cooper Rogers (d. 1857), younger son of the fifth Baronet, was a
Rear-Admiral in the Royal Navy
