The third of five children born to Henry and Susan Antoinette (Hersey) Rogers, Jr., her father was co-owner of the Boston Journal newspaper.
Mary suffered the loss of her father when she was eight and her mother two years later when she was ten. Her parents, however, left Mary and her three sisters, Josephine, Addie, and Susan financially well provided for. The children moved from Milton, MA to Boston prior to the 1860 Census, where her then 18-year-old sister Josephine was listed as head of the household, which also included their maternal grandmother Susan Hersey, age 65, Elizabeth Swift, their 40-year-old housekeeper, and Kate Kelly, a 30-year-old Irish domestic servant.
Mary also received another form of inheritance from her mother, Tuberculin bacilli. She would be dead at 16.
