Very little is known about his family background or his early life. The Rogerson family were probably fairly recent arrivals in Ireland. He is recorded as a householder of Dublin from 1674.
He was elected Lord Mayor of Dublin in 1693–94 and represented Clogher in the Parliament of Ireland from 1692 to 1693, then Dublin City from 1695 to 1703. He built his country residence, "The Glen" or "Glasnevin House" outside the village of Glasnevin. A quay in Dublin was named Sir John Rogerson's Quay owing to his association with its development. He married firstly Elizabeth Proby and secondly Elizabeth Ward. He was the father of John Rogerson (1676-1741), Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench in Ireland.
