died the first winter in the "general sickness" but his son, Joseph, survived He was called a "camlet merchant" in the Leyden records and appears to have come to Leyden a few years before the migration as it was not until
1618 that he acquired citizenship. He sold his house in Leyden in April, 1620, preparatory to removal to America.
per THOMAS ROGERS, PILGRIM, AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS by Elizabeth S. Daniel and Jeanne E. Sawtelle, 1980
"Pilgrim Thomas Rogers was born, probably in England, before 1590. The first certain reference to him was in 1618, when he became a citizen of Leiden, Holland, sponsored by two of the Pilgrim community who had come from Worksop, Notts., and Sandwich, Kent, both in England. Therefore, Thomas himself may have come from one ot those towns. In April 1620, Thomas
sold his Leiden home in preparation for the voyage across the Atlantic, and he died early in 1621, in Plymouth Colony.
The only other information that we positively know about Thomas Rogers is that Gov. William Bradford, in 1650, wrote that "Thomas Rogers and Joseph his son" came on the MAYFLOWER, and that "Thomas died in the first sickness, but his son Joseph is still living and is married and hath six children. The rest of Thomas Roger's (children) came over and are married and have
many children." We know from the 1622 Poll Tax that the Rogers family in Leiden then consisted of widow Elsgen (or Elizabeth), son Jan (or John), and daughters Lysbeth and Geietgen (or Elizabeth and Margaret). The English equivalents were supplied by the Leiden Archivist. John Rogers arrived at Plymouth about 1630,
with last of the Leidne contingent. His identity is proved by a 1690 grant to him and Joseph Rogers, calling them brothers, and giving them each 50 acres at the North River. If Thomas had other sons, it is highly unlikely that they lived to maturity, since they neither appear in the 1622 tax list, nor were they granted land with their brothers. ...Research among the married women of Plymouth and Salem, where many of the Leiden group landed, has so far failed to show any Margaret or Elizabeth as a likely daughter of Thomas Rogers...
To date, the MF Socitey recognizes only Joseph and John as children of Pilgrim Thomas Rogers.
