Thomas Rogers1,2

b. circa 1571, d. in the winter of 1620/21
The ship was shroudly shaken
by Dr. Mike Haywood
     Thomas Rogers was born circa 1571 at Watford, County Northamptonshire, England.3 He was the son of William Rogers and Eleanor (?)4 Thomas Rogers married Alice Cosford, daughter of George Cosford and Margaret (?), on 24 October 1597 at Watford, County Northamptonshire, England.1,5 Thomas Rogers died in the winter of 1620/21 at Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA.1,5

All Thomas' children were baptized and/or buried in Watford. He brought his wife and family to Leiden, Holland, where he became a citizen of Leiden on 25 June 1618, where he is called a camlet merchant.

On 1 April 1620, he sold his house on Barbarasteeg for 300 guilders, apparently in preparation for his voyage on the Mayflower. He came on the Mayflower with eldest son Joseph, leaving behind in Leiden his son John, daughters Elizabeth and Margaret, and wife Alice.

Thomas Rogers died the first winter at Plymouth, leaving behind his 18-year old son Joseph. His wife and children that were left behind in Leiden are found in the 1622 poll tax of Leiden, and were termed "poor people" and "without means". Children Elizabeth and Margaret apparently came to New England later, but where they lived or who they married with remain unknown. Son John came to Plymouth about 1630.

HISTORY OF IOWA COUNTY WISCONSIN 1881

DAVID HOLCOMB
     FARMER, Section 17; P.O. Mazomanie; born in Oswego County, N.Y. in 1822; he came to Wisconsin with his father's family in 1845; the family settled in Troy, Walworth, Co., they came to Iowa County in 1855, and settled where David now lives; father died in 1874; mother lives at the homestead; David took possession of the homestead in 1873.

He was married to Miss Annie Appleby; they have nine children---Worcester, John, Florence, George, Nettie, William, Franklin, Ernest and Lulu.

Mr. Holcomb's parents had eight children, six sons and two daughters; three Sons and one daughter are living, all residents of Wisconsin.


from the Mazomanie Sickle:
Ann Appleby was born at Utica, NY, September 9, 1836, and passed away, apparently without struggle or pain, on Tuesday afternoon, Oct 26, 1915, aged seventy-nine years, one month and eighteen days. At the age of about eight years she came with her parents from the state of her birth to Wisconsin, and in 1853, was married to David Holcomb. Eleven children blessed their home, seven boys and four girls. Two, one boy and one girl, died in infancy. Those remaining are: Worcester James of Arena township, John Edward, of Verdon, SD, Mrs. Geo. T. Blake of Mellette, SD, George Henry of Washington DC, Mrs. Nettie E. Coutts, of Mellette, SD, Willis D. of Mazomanie township, Frank C., of Mazomanie, Ernest W., of Minneapolis, Minn., and Miss Lulu L. of Mazomanie township.


Mr. Holcomb passed away December 7th 1894. Mrs. Holcomb was a woman of cheerful disposition, of constant activity, kind and patient. She was a companion to her children, and as a neighbor much beloved. She enjoyed the best of health until about two years ago, when she was greatly injured by a fall. Since that time she was confined more or less to her home. But though her health was thus impaired, and her activities necessarily limited, there were no signs of mental decay or mental inactivity. One of her chief activities of late years was the increased correspondence that she carried on with her children. The funeral service was held at the old home on Friday afternoon, Oct. 29th, where she had spent the largest part of her life, and from which the sons and daughters went out to positions of usefulness in the world. Rev. A. F. Daschler conducted the service. The six sons acted as pall-bearers, and the remains were laid at rest in the Mazomanie cemetery.
