Notes:

Thomas Rogers, a Mayflower Pilgrim and one of forty-one signatories of the Mayflower Compact was among those who did not survive that first harsh Plymouth, Massachusetts winter of 1620-1621.
Thomas Rogers was accompanied by his son, Joseph, but not his wife or other children, who had stayed behind in Leiden. There is record of his wife and other children in the 1622 poll tax of Leiden. Thomas died during the first winter in Plymouth (1621), when Joseph was 18.
Of Thomas little is known. Born by about 1572, s/o William and Eleanor (____) Rogers, Watford, Northamptonshire [TGM 3: 1598 citing The Genealogist] In 1619 he sued a baker and a miller of Leiden to free a lien on his house, and perhaps in preparation for his journey, won the suit and was awarded court costs. (NEHGR 143:207). He had bought this house in 1617 and sold it April, 1620 (Ibid.)
Thomas Rogers (William) was born in Watford, Northamptonshire CA 1572. Thomas died 1621 in Plymouth, Barnstable, at 49 years of age.
