Paper trail

First Generation

Thomas Rogers was born prob. at Watford, Northampton, England^[1] about 1572,^[2] the son of William and Ellenor (_____) Rogers.^[3] Thomas died at Plymouth during the "general sickness" of the first winter (1620-1). He married at Watford 24 Oct 1597^[4] Alice Cosford, baptized at Watford 10 May 1573, daughter of George & Margaret Cosford.^[5] It is believed she died in Leiden sometime after 1622.^[6] Thomas and his son Joseph came over on the Mayflower in 1620, the other children (but not the mother) are said (by Gov. Bradford) to have "came over & are maried & have many children."

Thomas Rogers and Alice Cosford had five children baptized at Watford; two daughters and three sons (Thomas [died young], Joseph and John)

Second Generation

Joseph Rogers was buried at Watford 23 Jan 1602/3^[7] and died at Eastham between 2-15 Jan 1677/8.^[8] He was the only child of Thomas to travel with him aboard the Mayflower. Joseph married sometime before Aug 1633^[9]. It is believed Hannah _____ was his only wife, but there is nothing to state definitively she was the mother of any/all of his children.

Joseph had eight children, recorded (but not necessarily born) in the Sandwich, MA Vital Records: four daughters and four sons (Joseph, Thomas, John and James)

DNA Results FGC59523

Previous Y-DNA testing

Previous Y-STR testing through the Rogers DNA Project has identified a Y-STR haplotype for the Mayflower Rogers lineage and has determined that the lineage belongs to the R1b-M269 Y-DNA haplogroup,^[1] which is quite common in Western Europe. Forthcoming Y Elite test results will be able to place the place the Rogers lineage more precisely within the broad R1b-M269 clade and identify a number of more recent SNP markers.

NGS/WGS testing

One member of the My Rogers Family Tree DNA Project[1] has stated they are a Y-DNA descendant of Pilgrim Thomas Rogers. They also agreed to have a FGC Y-Elite test completed.[2] In addition, A Y-STR match to this kit[3] Has presumably taken a FTDNA Big Y test.  The results of these tests documents where the Rogers family falls under: R1b-P312>Z290>L21>DF13>Z253>FGC3268>ZZ6_1>BY43439>FGC59524>FGC59535>FGC59523.
