Hi! Sharing with Tracy Crocker,note "Cc:", of the Thomas Rogers Society.I have no proven Thomas Rogers line but have a Rogers line from a Judith Rogers, second wife of Thomas Potter.I also have a line from Potter's first wife Mary Babcock.Despite what you might seen on the Internet this Judith Rogers is NOT a Thomas Rogers descendant.Walter Woodworth my ancestor may have married a daughter of Thomas Rogers but this is not proved. My Mayflower lines are William Mullins and his son-in-law John Alden,James Chilton,William White,Francis Cooke, and multiple Richard Warren lines.I may also have a George Soule line. BTW I am not a Mayflower Society member http://www.mayflower.org ,.I am a member of the Alden Kindred http://www.alden.org and The Warren Cousins.The Warren Cousins reunion is this Saturday but I am not attending. The Thomas Rogers web site is http://www.thomasrogerssociety.com/trs.html ,. Tracy Crocker is the contact person for this Rogers group and he is a "he" at [email protected] ,. I got the Philbrick book as a gift.
