Lysbeth ROGERS

Other Events and Attributes:

• Also Known As: Elizabeth Rogers

Notes:

Excerpt from Mayflower Increasing:" Elizabeth was living 1622, Leiden, Holland; poss. came to Pymouth abt 1630 with brother John as as Bradford implies, married and had children. Stratten: 287-8 suggests she could be the Elizabeth, wf of Samuel Eddy. Elizabeth Eddy died 24 May 1689, at the end of her 82nd year (plymouth), thus her birth date of abt. 1606 fits the time frame of the bairth of the Rogers children. Samuel is included in a 1662 list of "first born children" to reeive grants of land. All those who received land were either in Plymouth pre 1627 or married someone who was (the only exception was William Pontus who was a member of the Leiden group). Since it is known that Samuel Eddy arrieved in 1630 in the ship "Handmaid", the fact that he is included indicates it was in right of his wife Elizabaeth, the daughter of an "Old Comer" family. Bradford's statement that the children who came over had "many" children fits the Eddy family whom the records show had many children (born before Bradford's writings), some of whom they had to "put out" because of their "many wants". Since Bradford states that the rest of the Rogers children came over, one could assume they came toether and, as it is known that brother John came to Plymouth c1630, is it possibel that, along with Samuel Eddy, John and his sisters Elizabeth & Margaret were among the sixty passengers of the Handmaid?"

Thomas died in the general sickness six months after arrival. Thomas was the 18th signer of the Mayflower Compact. He brought with him a picture of his grandfather, the martyr who was burned at the stake. The picture is said to now hang in the Gallery of the American Antiquarian Society at Worcester, Massachusetts.

Excerpt from Mayflower Increasing: "Thomas ROGERS was probably born in England his date & place of birth and parentage are unknown. He died the first winter in Pymouth, sometime after the signing of the Mayflower Compace on 11 Nov. 1620. His wife was Elsgen/Elizabeth who was living in Leiden, Holland in 1622, a widow with children Joh, Lyseth/Elizaeth and Grietgen/Margaret. Bradford states that "the rest of Thomas Rogers' children came over and are married and have many children." Son Joeph came with his father and it is known fro the records that son John came to Plymouth bef.1630. Alathough proof has not yet been found in the records, Bradford's statement implies that his daughters came over as well. He states the children wo came over had MANY children; son Joseph had only four children which would not be considered "many" in those days. Therefore it is very likely that some day researchers will "find" daughters Elizaeth and Margaret which will result in new Mayflower lines being opened up."
