She was the daughter of the Rev. Edward Rogers, Rector of Myndtown, Salop and, in 1770, married John Whitter (1746-1794), a descendent of Thomas Whitter, an officer in Cromwell's army who settled in Exeter. That she took this book into her marriage is confirmed by the presence of her maiden name, 'M. Rogers', written on the front cover. The inclusion of recipes from the area around Ludlow in the latter pages of the book would indicate that she passed her book to her daughter Catherine who, on her marriage to the Rev. Joseph Babington, went to live in the town in 1803. Mary Whitter was present at the baptism of their son Charles Cardale Babington in 1809, who went on to become a well-known botanist, archaeologist and Fellow of the Royal Society.
