(Individual note) per THOMAS ROGERS, PILGRIM, AND SOME OF HIS DESCDNDANTS 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 1640 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. ...In 1634 he bought land in Duxbury, and was also granted 50 acres in 1640, as was his brother Joseph. John served on a jury for the first time in 1641, was made a freeman around March 1641/2, and became a highway surveyor in Duxbury in 1644. He was also a deputy at court in 1657, and was made a constable of Duxbury in 1666. There were a number of land transactions in which John was involved between 1662 and 1685. As one of the "ancient freemen,: he was given land in 1662 on the northerly side of Taunton. In 1664 he sold half his meadow northwest of "Joanes River," with the consent of wife Anna. This is the only time she is called by name except at their marriage. In 1667 he was granted 100 acres on Coteticutt River, and in 1670 John Rogers of Duxbury weaver "and his wife" acknowledged a deed made in 1654, through which he had sold the 50 acres granted to him in 1640. He sold another 100 acres in 1673. His last recorded land transaction was the sale of an acre of his Duxbury land to Wrestling Brewster, acknowledging his signature in 1685. The original will of John Rogers, probated 20 Sep 1692, is no longer in existence, but the copy entered in the records of Plymouth Colony at his death appoints his son John Rogers as "sole Executor and Administrator."
