52 ANCESTORS IN 52 WEEKS 2018 WEEK 21:THOMAS ROGERS OF PLYMOUTH PLANTATION

My 10x great grandfather Thomas Rogers was a Mayflower passenger and a signer of the Mayflower Compact. Unfortunately he died not long after landing at Plymouth.

From William Richard Cutter:

Thomas Rogers, immigrant  ancestor, was one of the Pilgrim Fathers. He was born in England, went to Holland with the Pilgrims and came to New England in 1620 on the "Mayflower, "' bringing with him his son Joseph, and taking a prominent part in the colony at Plymouth. His other children came afterward. He died in the first sickness at Plymouth. Among his children were: 1. Joseph, mentioned below. 2. John, weaver and planter of Duxbury; taxed there in 1632; admitted a freeman March 1, 1641-42; town officer and commissioner of jurors; married, April 16. 1639, Ann Churchman; lived at Scituate about 1647; removed to Marshfield where he died: will dated February 1, 1660; wife Frances. 3.
