BiographyThomas Rogers became a citizen of Leyden on 25 June 1618 with sponsors William Jepson and Roger Wilson, and was called a Camlet-merchant. Two years later, on 1 April 1620, he sold his house in Leyden before coming to America on the Mayflower.

Thomas was the 18th signer of the Mayflower compact.

Thomas brought his son Joseph with him on the Mayflower. He died the first winter, but his son survived. William Bradford in his Of Plymouth Plantation writes of Thomas Rogers: "the rest of Thomas Rogers' [children] came over and are married and have many children."

In the 1622 poll tax for Leyden are listed his wife Elsgen (Alice), and daughters Lysbeth (Elizabeth) and Grietgen (Margaret), and son John. John Rogers is known to have come to America and married, but the whereabouts of Elizabeth and Margaret remain unknown, though Bradford seems to suggest they came to America and married.
