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 (possibly six) children baptized at Watford: Thomas (died young), (poss.) Richard (died young), Joseph, John, Elizabeth and Margaret

Second Generation

Joseph Rogers was baptized 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: Sarah (died young), Joseph, Thomas, Elizabeth, John Mary, James, and Hannah.


John Rogers was baptized at Watford 6 Apr 1606, and died at Duxbury about 1692. He married Anna Churchman. They had four children: (H)Anna, John, Abigail and Elizabeth

DNA Results FT260099

Previous Y-DNA testing

Previous Y-STR testing through the Mayflower DNA Project, the Rogers/Rodgers DNA Project[1] and the Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower DNA Grouphas identified a Y-STR haplotype for the Mayflower Rogers lineage and has determined that the lineage belongs to the R1b-M269>P312>Z290>L21>DF13> Z253>FGC3268>ZZ6_1>BY43439>FGC59524>FGC59535>FT260099 Y-DNA haplogroup,[2].

NGS/WGS testing

One member of the My Rogers Family Tree DNA Project[3] has stated they are a Y-DNA descendant of Pilgrim Thomas Rogers. They also agreed to have a FGC Y-Elite test completed.[4] In addition, A Y-STR match to this kit[5] 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>FT260099.
