Separatist Church at Leiden in the Netherlands sometime after 1613. Thomas Rogers became a citizen of Leiden on 25 June 1618, and records state he was a merchant of camlet cloth (a combination of silk and camelhair). It is possible Alice Rogers died sometime before 1620 since, per 1622 records, a woman named Elizabeth (Elsgen), possibly his second wife, cared for the Rogers children left behind when Thomas and his son Joseph sailed for the New World. Thomas Rogers and his son Joseph, aged about 18, went to North America on the Pilgrim ship Mayflower in 1620, while his other children remained in the Netherlands. Some of those children are known to have later gone to New England. Thomas died, as did many other Mayflower passengers, during that first winter in Plymouth Colony, 1620-21. His son Joseph survived to live a long life as a person of note in the colony. References External links Villages in Northamptonshire Civil parishes in Northamptonshire West Northamptonshire District
