Hannah, wife of Joseph
Hannah Churchman is incorrect. Mayflower Families Through Five Generations, Volume Nineteen indicates Joseph married a Hannah...however no last name is mentioned.

Likely wrong name
I find this name combined with the early arrival date unlikely, since he is not the Mayflower Joseph Rogers, what evidence is there that this was the name of Hannah's father?

year of birth
Records in England say christening was 23 Jan 1602 (Julian calendar, old style). The English calendar year began on March 25 at the time, so March 24, 1602, was followed the next day by March 25, 1603. The ordinary calculation for the year would be 1603, and to accommodate this discrepancy the date is usually written today as 23 Jan 1602/3.
23 Jan 1602/3. Dual Years: Any Date Before March 25, Use the earlier Year - Any Date March 25 or After, Use the Latter Year. His birth would be 23 Jan. 1602.
The marker from the Cove burying ground on the site of the church Joseph went to which is maintained by the Eastham historical society records the birth and death dates of Joseph, son of the Mayflower Thomas Rogers as 1608-1678. The marker put up by his descendants records his birth and death dates as 1607-1678. The source of this might be from the list of Mayflower passengers where he is said to be 12 years old. The 12 may be a misread of 17 in the original document that has been carried through to the present and is frequently seen in secondary sources for his vitals.
Logically, it's essentially impossible for Joseph to have been 12 when he left with his father for America. We know that his father, Thomas, left behind his wife and his other children. Those children included John, who was 14 at the time, as well as Elizabeth, 7, and Margaret, 3. It is simply implausible that Thomas would have brought along his 12-year-old son and left his 14-year-old behind.
No, Joseph was older than 12 -- and was, from other evidence, 17 at the time. Thomas brought his eldest son with him, leaving behind his wife, his 14-year-old son, and his two little girls.

BIOGRAPHY: LT. JOSEPH ROGERS
(son of Thomas Rogers)
Compiled by Jessica Wolpert
University of Virginia
USEM 170, Fall 1998
BIOGRAPHY: Joseph Rogers was born in Watford, Northhamptonshire. He is noted as being baptized on 23 January 1602/03.
Before coming to the New World, Rogers was part of the Leiden congregation in the Netherlands. He came to the Plymouth colony on the Mayflower, in the company of his father, Thomas Rogers. By 1639 he had moved to Duxbury; he is noted as requesting land in that area in 1638 and is named on a committee for the Duxbury highway repair in 1638/39. He is mentioned as "of Duxborrow" in the records of a 1646 land sale. Rogers probably moved very soon after this mention, as he is named lieutenant of Nauset (later Eastham) in 1647. In Eastham, he might have taken up residence with Beriah Higgens, as in his will he mentions that he "lived with him a Greate while." Rogers lived in Eastham until his death.
Although his father did not survive the first winter, Joseph's brother John took his chances in the New World and at an unknown date joined his brother in Plymouth. It is uncertain whether Rogers' sisters Elizabeth and Margaret ever came to the colony; they were listed as living in Leiden in 1622.
Rogers married a woman named Hannah, whose surname is unknown. They had four sons and four daughters: Sarah (1633), Joseph (1635), Thomas, Elizabeth (1639), John (1642), Mary (1644), James, (1648), and Hannah (1652.) Joseph seems to have had a clean bill of health concerning his marriage; he is not mentioned in any case for any sort of sexual offence. His home life was not one of unmarred happiness, though. Sarah died in infancy, and Joseph predeceased his father. Roger's eldest son had suffered from "a most deadly fall" on 25 December 1660, and lingered for two days before dying. John Hawes was indicted for "violently and by force of armes" killing Rogers Jr. (The two might have been wrestling when Rogers Jr. suffered his fatal injury.) Hawes was found not guilty of the crime on 5 March 1660/61.
Had Rogers lived longer, he would have seen his family greatly diminished. Thomas, the second son and the executor of Rogers' will, died a few months after his father, along with the youngest son James. By October of 1678, only John Rogers was left to administer his father's estate.
In the first land division in 1623, Rogers received two acres, on "the South side of the brooke to the baywards." He added cattle to his goods in 1627, sharing a heifer "of the last yeare" from the "Greate white back cow that was brought over in the Ann" with William Bradford, Thomas Cushman, William Latham, Mannasses Kempton and Julian Kempton, and the Morton family. Along with the cattle, Rogers shared 2 nanny goats.
Early on, Rogers tried his hand in the transportation business. A court record from 2 March 1635/36 states that he was granted permission to run a ferry over Jones River, which ran near his house. The charge was a penny per passenger.
Rogers may have possessed over 100 acres in Duxbury at one point, having been granted 60 acres of land in 1638 and an additional 50 in 1640. There are four known land deals involving him from the time of his arrival in Eastham. A 1658 purchase from the Potonumaquatt tribe totals six and one half acres. In 1662 Manasses Kempton sold Rogers 40 acres of upland in the area "Called the Barly necke…." In 1665 Rogers is mentioned as having rights to 100 acres of land that William Nicarson had illegally purchased from the natives. It is not known whether Joseph Rogers actually bought the land he was entitled to. The Plymouth court gave him liberty in 1670 to purchase land from Indians living near Eastham.
It is also not known exactly how much land Rogers held at his death. In his will he mentions holdings "at the barly necke, Pochett Iland Paomett Billingsgate or elsewhere purchased or unpurchased…." An inventory of his household comes to 56 pounds, 9 shillings, and 11 pence. Rogers, like many Cape Cod families, owned a fishing boat ¾ in his case, two " canooes."
Joseph Rogers was an upstanding citizen in the colony. He was a purchaser in 1626, and he is listed as a freeman in 1633. His reputation was untarnished by any criminal accusations, although he does appear as a plaintiff in a 1632/33 civil case. (Edward Doty had not carried through on a contract involving six pigs. Rogers received 4 bushels of corn in compensation.)
He also had a history of community involvement. While in Duxbury, he was sworn into the post of constable for 1640. On June 1, 1647, he was sworn in as lieutenant of Nauset (later Eastham,) an office he held until 1661, when he was released. In 1658, he served on the Council of War. He was re-sworn into his lieutenant's office in 1664, and held it until his death. Rogers was also often involved in community land transactions, serving as a trustee over a piece of Duxbury land in October 1646. In 1664 Lieutenant "Josepth Rogers" is given authority to survey a piece of land from Bridgewater to the Bay line, along with Josias Cooke, Gyles Hopkins, Henry Sampson, and Experience Mitchell. In 1670, Rogers served as a selectman along with Nicholas Snow, Daniel Cole, and Josias Cooke.
He died between the 2nd and the 15th of January 1677/78, in Eastham, New Plymouth, a few weeks short of his seventy-fifth birthday

He "was about 12 years old when he came to America with his father in
1620*. After his father's death, it is thought he was taken into Gov.
Bradford's home for a while. In the allotment of land in 1623 to those
who came on the Mayflower, Joseph Rogers had 2 acres allotted to him. He
was in Gov. Bradford's company. He was a resident of Plymouth in 1633, a
taxpayer, and a married man. In 1636 he was located near Jone's river in
that part of which was afterwards Duxbury, and he was allowed to
establish a ferry near his home and to take one penny from each person
who took passage. He was a surveyor and he and his brother John Rogers
had each a tract of land of 40 acres granted at North River in what is
now Marshfield. In 1647, Joseph Rogers was appointed by the court as
Lieutenant to train "men in arms", serving until 1661. In 1665 he moved
his family to Eastham where he spent the rest of his life. He was
appointed Lieut. of the Eastham Company in 1664. In 1658 he was one of

Biographical Summary Joseph Rogers was
Biographical Summary
Joseph Rogers was born in 1602/3 in Watford, Northampton, England. He
and his family came to Leiden, Holland, where they are first recorded in
1618. By 1620, the family had sold its house, and Joseph came with
father Thomas on the Mayflower to Plymouth. His mother Alice, brother
John, and sisters Elizabeth and Margaret remained behind in Leiden.
Joseph was about 18 years old when he made the voyage on the Mayflower
with his father. His father Thomas died sometime the first winter at
Plymouth. Joseph appears to have resided in the Bradford household for
around ten years. He married about 1632, and his first child Sarah was
born on 6 August 1633. He moved from Plymouth to Duxbury around 1638,
and lived there for a number of years, before moving to Eastham around
1646, and resided in Sandwich for a few years around 1650 before
returning to Eastham. He died in Eastham in January 1677/8; in his will
he names his wife Hannah, the only record found that names his wife.

He had two shares of the land as divided in 1624, probably one on account of his father. He shared in the division of cattle in 1627 with Gov. Bradford, with whom he was living.

Parents for Joseph Rogers should be Thomas Rogers and Alice Cosford
October 12, 2013
According to the Thomas Rogers Society, the parents for Joseph should not be Thomas Rogers (1587-1638) and Grace Makin. They should be Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower (1571-1621) and Alice Cosford. I have tried to correct this, but Family Search puts the wrong parents back on as fast as I can remove them. We also have here a totally wrong father (John Rogers) who isn't even born until 1717 (after his supposed son is dead)! I have had the same problem with removing him. Hopefully after NewFamily Search is shut down, we can solve this problem. See http://www.thomasrogerssociety.com/p1.htm.

year of birth
Records in England say christening was 23 Jan 1602 (Julian calendar, old style). The English calendar year began on March 25 at the time, so March 24, 1602, was followed the next day by March 25, 1603. The ordinary calculation for the year would be 1603, and to accommodate this discrepancy the date is usually written today as 23 Jan 1602/3.
23 Jan 1602/3. Dual Years: Any Date Before March 25, Use the earlier Year - Any Date March 25 or After, Use the Latter Year. His birth would be 23 Jan. 1602.
The marker from the Cove burying ground on the site of the church Joseph went to which is maintained by the Eastham historical society records the birth and death dates of Joseph, son of the Mayflower Thomas Rogers as 1608-1678. The marker put up by his descendants records his birth and death dates as 1607-1678. The source of this might be from the list of Mayflower passengers where he is said to be 12 years old. The 12 may be a misread of 17 in the original document that has been carried through to the present and is frequently seen in secondary sources for his vitals.
Logically, it's essentially impossible for Joseph to have been 12 when he left with his father for America. We know that his father, Thomas, left behind his wife and his other children. Those children included John, who was 14 at the time, as well as Elizabeth, 7, and Margaret, 3. It is simply implausible that Thomas would have brought along his 12-year-old son and left his 14-year-old behind.
No, Joseph was older than 12 -- and was, from other evidence, 17 at the time. Thomas brought his eldest son with him, leaving behind his wife, his 14-year-old son, and his two little girls.

BIOGRAPHY: LT. JOSEPH ROGERS
(son of Thomas Rogers)
Compiled by Jessica Wolpert
University of Virginia
USEM 170, Fall 1998
BIOGRAPHY: Joseph Rogers was born in Watford, Northhamptonshire. He is noted as being baptized on 23 January 1602/03.
Before coming to the New World, Rogers was part of the Leiden congregation in the Netherlands. He came to the Plymouth colony on the Mayflower, in the company of his father, Thomas Rogers. By 1639 he had moved to Duxbury; he is noted as requesting land in that area in 1638 and is named on a committee for the Duxbury highway repair in 1638/39. He is mentioned as "of Duxborrow" in the records of a 1646 land sale. Rogers probably moved very soon after this mention, as he is named lieutenant of Nauset (later Eastham) in 1647. In Eastham, he might have taken up residence with Beriah Higgens, as in his will he mentions that he "lived with him a Greate while." Rogers lived in Eastham until his death.
Although his father did not survive the first winter, Joseph's brother John took his chances in the New World and at an unknown date joined his brother in Plymouth. It is uncertain whether Rogers' sisters Elizabeth and Margaret ever came to the colony; they were listed as living in Leiden in 1622.
Rogers married a woman named Hannah, whose surname is unknown. They had four sons and four daughters: Sarah (1633), Joseph (1635), Thomas, Elizabeth (1639), John (1642), Mary (1644), James, (1648), and Hannah (1652.) Joseph seems to have had a clean bill of health concerning his marriage; he is not mentioned in any case for any sort of sexual offence. His home life was not one of unmarred happiness, though. Sarah died in infancy, and Joseph predeceased his father. Roger's eldest son had suffered from "a most deadly fall" on 25 December 1660, and lingered for two days before dying. John Hawes was indicted for "violently and by force of armes" killing Rogers Jr. (The two might have been wrestling when Rogers Jr. suffered his fatal injury.) Hawes was found not guilty of the crime on 5 March 1660/61.
Had Rogers lived longer, he would have seen his family greatly diminished. Thomas, the second son and the executor of Rogers' will, died a few months after his father, along with the youngest son James. By October of 1678, only John Rogers was left to administer his father's estate.
In the first land division in 1623, Rogers received two acres, on "the South side of the brooke to the baywards." He added cattle to his goods in 1627, sharing a heifer "of the last yeare" from the "Greate white back cow that was brought over in the Ann" with William Bradford, Thomas Cushman, William Latham, Mannasses Kempton and Julian Kempton, and the Morton family. Along with the cattle, Rogers shared 2 nanny goats.
Early on, Rogers tried his hand in the transportation business. A court record from 2 March 1635/36 states that he was granted permission to run a ferry over Jones River, which ran near his house. The charge was a penny per passenger.
Rogers may have possessed over 100 acres in Duxbury at one point, having been granted 60 acres of land in 1638 and an additional 50 in 1640. There are four known land deals involving him from the time of his arrival in Eastham. A 1658 purchase from the Potonumaquatt tribe totals six and one half acres. In 1662 Manasses Kempton sold Rogers 40 acres of upland in the area "Called the Barly necke…." In 1665 Rogers is mentioned as having rights to 100 acres of land that William Nicarson had illegally purchased from the natives. It is not known whether Joseph Rogers actually bought the land he was entitled to. The Plymouth court gave him liberty in 1670 to purchase land from Indians living near Eastham.
It is also not known exactly how much land Rogers held at his death. In his will he mentions holdings "at the barly necke, Pochett Iland Paomett Billingsgate or elsewhere purchased or unpurchased…." An inventory of his household comes to 56 pounds, 9 shillings, and 11 pence. Rogers, like many Cape Cod families, owned a fishing boat ¾ in his case, two " canooes."
Joseph Rogers was an upstanding citizen in the colony. He was a purchaser in 1626, and he is listed as a freeman in 1633. His reputation was untarnished by any criminal accusations, although he does appear as a plaintiff in a 1632/33 civil case. (Edward Doty had not carried through on a contract involving six pigs. Rogers received 4 bushels of corn in compensation.)
He also had a history of community involvement. While in Duxbury, he was sworn into the post of constable for 1640. On June 1, 1647, he was sworn in as lieutenant of Nauset (later Eastham,) an office he held until 1661, when he was released. In 1658, he served on the Council of War. He was re-sworn into his lieutenant's office in 1664, and held it until his death. Rogers was also often involved in community land transactions, serving as a trustee over a piece of Duxbury land in October 1646. In 1664 Lieutenant "Josepth Rogers" is given authority to survey a piece of land from Bridgewater to the Bay line, along with Josias Cooke, Gyles Hopkins, Henry Sampson, and Experience Mitchell. In 1670, Rogers served as a selectman along with Nicholas Snow, Daniel Cole, and Josias Cooke.
He died between the 2nd and the 15th of January 1677/78, in Eastham, New Plymouth, a few weeks short of his seventy-fifth birthday

He "was about 12 years old when he came to America with his father in
1620*. After his father's death, it is thought he was taken into Gov.
Bradford's home for a while. In the allotment of land in 1623 to those
who came on the Mayflower, Joseph Rogers had 2 acres allotted to him. He
was in Gov. Bradford's company. He was a resident of Plymouth in 1633, a
taxpayer, and a married man. In 1636 he was located near Jone's river in
that part of which was afterwards Duxbury, and he was allowed to
establish a ferry near his home and to take one penny from each person
who took passage. He was a surveyor and he and his brother John Rogers
had each a tract of land of 40 acres granted at North River in what is
now Marshfield. In 1647, Joseph Rogers was appointed by the court as
Lieutenant to train "men in arms", serving until 1661. In 1665 he moved
his family to Eastham where he spent the rest of his life. He was
appointed Lieut. of the Eastham Company in 1664. In 1658 he was one of

Biographical Summary Joseph Rogers was
Biographical Summary
Joseph Rogers was born in 1602/3 in Watford, Northampton, England. He
and his family came to Leiden, Holland, where they are first recorded in
1618. By 1620, the family had sold its house, and Joseph came with
father Thomas on the Mayflower to Plymouth. His mother Alice, brother
John, and sisters Elizabeth and Margaret remained behind in Leiden.
Joseph was about 18 years old when he made the voyage on the Mayflower
with his father. His father Thomas died sometime the first winter at
Plymouth. Joseph appears to have resided in the Bradford household for
around ten years. He married about 1632, and his first child Sarah was
born on 6 August 1633. He moved from Plymouth to Duxbury around 1638,
and lived there for a number of years, before moving to Eastham around
1646, and resided in Sandwich for a few years around 1650 before
returning to Eastham. He died in Eastham in January 1677/8; in his will
he names his wife Hannah, the only record found that names his wife.

Parents for Joseph Rogers should be Thomas Rogers and Alice Cosford
October 12, 2013
According to the Thomas Rogers Society, the parents for Joseph should not be Thomas Rogers (1587-1638) and Grace Makin. They should be Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower (1571-1621) and Alice Cosford. I have tried to correct this, but Family Search puts the wrong parents back on as fast as I can remove them. We also have here a totally wrong father (John Rogers) who isn't even born until 1717 (after his supposed son is dead)! I have had the same problem with removing him. Hopefully after NewFamily Search is shut down, we can solve this problem. See http://www.thomasrogerssociety.com/p1.htm.
