Thomas Rogers (1638–1678)
1638–1678
Biography
Husband of Elizabeth Snow and father of Eleazer Rogers; the link that joins the Rogers Mayflower line to the Hopkins/Snow Mayflower line. Born (baptized 6 May) 1638 at Duxbury, Plymouth Colony, son of Mayflower passenger Joseph Rogers (and therefore grandson of Mayflower passenger Thomas Rogers). Married Elizabeth Snow at Eastham on 13 December 1665; their children (Elizabeth, Joseph, Hannah, Thomas, Eleazer, Nathaniel) thus carry two independent Mayflower lines. Died at Eastham in 1678, the same year as his wife. Direct ancestor through his son Eleazer Rogers.
