  1. 4.  Thomas John ROGERS, Jr. was born in 1485 in Deritend, Aston, Warwickshire, England (son of Thomas John ROGERS, Sr. and Catherine COURTENAY); died on 10 Mar 1537 in Aston, Warwickshire, England; was buried in 1541 in Aston, Warwickshire, England.

    Other Events:

    • FamilySearch ID: LLQD-ZP1
    • Name: Rogers of Deritend
    • Occupation: Deritend, Birmingham (Warwickshire), England; Lorimer (a person who made bits, spurs, and other small metal objects)
    • _UID: 2C3D69C0B029429F86159CAB128BAF75EF7D

    Notes:

    Per pedigree of: "John Rogers of Derytend in the parish of Aston Com. Warwick":
    John Rogers, Lorimer (a person who made bits, spurs, and other small metal objects) of Deritend - Birth: about 1487 Died: December 1540
    Immediate Family: Son of John Rogers, of Sutton Valence, Kent, England
    Brother: Nicholas Rogers
    Wife: Margaret Wyatt, daughter of prominent tanner in Deritend
    here are two Margaret Wyatts that are being confused. This one was the daughter of a Deritend tanner named John Wyatt. She married John Rogers a lorimer in Deritend. The other Margaret Wyatt was born the daughter of Henry Wyatt lived in a castle and married Sir Anthony Lee. They were not the same person.
    Children: John Rogers, 1555 martyr (married Adriana de Weyden), William Rogers (died prior to 1540), Eleanor Rogers (married Robert Malward), Joan Rogers (married Baldwin Broke), Edward Rogers
    Settled in Deritend, Aston, Birmingham, Warwick
    Also called "John Rogers of Birmingham"
    Left a Will made in December 1540, proved at Litchfield 25 December 1541

    It appears that Thomas Rogers of Bradford and his second wife, Katherine de Courtnay, had a son known as "John Rogers of Sutton Valence in Kent". The Will of Katherine de Courtenay makes it clear that John and William Rogers were not her sons, but children of of her second husband, Thomas Rogers of Bradford. From the Visitations he (John Rogers of Sutton Valence in Kent) is noted as having had a son referred to as "John Rogers of Sutton Valence", who married a "Miss Coppinger" and he had a son named "Ralph Rogers." His son "John Rogers of Sutton Valence" left a Will and died in 1528.

    According to the professionals that I talked to, the coat of arms of John Rogers of Deritend's family and the coat of arms used by Thomas Rogers of Bradford seem to indicate that they are of the same family.....it is just being a little difficult to figure how it fits together. The only sons of Thomas Rogers of Bradford that I can find reference to are the two he had with his first wife, Cecily Bessil, William and John Rogers of Sutton Valence in Kent, and George the only child that Thomas had with his second wife, Katherine de Courtenay.

    According to the 4 pedigree of Thomas Rogers of Bradford, it appears that he and his second wife, Katherine de Courtenay, had a son known in pedigrees #4 and #2 as "John Rogers of Sutton Valence in Kent". The Will of Katherine de Courtenay makes it clear that John and William Rogers were not her sons, but children of of her second husband, Thomas Rogers of Bradford. This "John Rogers of Sutton, the second", was the son of that "John Rogers of Sutton Valence in Kent". He married a Miss Coppinger and had a son named Ralph. He left a Will in August of 1528 which was proved in January of 1528/9.
    This could not have been the John Rogers of Deritend, as he left a Will in Deritend in the year 1540

    The person on the top of the family pedigree for John Rogers, 1555 martyr is a man recorded as: ....Rogers of "Sutton Vallens in Kent." I am hoping to find more clarification as to exactly who was the father to John Rogers of Deritend the father of John Rogers 1555 martyr.


    Thomas married Margaret (Margery) WYATT in 1505 in Deritend, Aston, Warwickshire, England. Margaret (daughter of Sir Henry WYATT and Anne SKINNER) was born in 1490 in Allington Castle, Boxley, Kent, England; died in 1540 in Dorset, Dorsetshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 5.  Margaret (Margery) WYATT was born in 1490 in Allington Castle, Boxley, Kent, England (daughter of Sir Henry WYATT and Anne SKINNER); died in 1540 in Dorset, Dorsetshire, England.

    Thomas Rogers Sergent at Law Esq
    Thomas Rogers of Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire, England Esq.
    Born - Benham Valence, a Furneaux mansion

    2nd husband of Katherine Courtenay
    Thomas Rogers (4th generation) never claimed the property of his father so it went to his sister.

    Thomas chose instead to practice law. He went to Oxford University and ultimately settled in Bradford in Wiltshire. He became an honorable and distinguished lawyer. In 1478, when he was 43 years old, under appointment by the Crown he was created "Serviens ad Legem," a life office bestowed because of professional attainments and worth of character. He was a great influence in his community and amassed a considerable fortune. He was appointed Sergeant-at-Law, a little before his first marriage. A son William was born of this marriage, and from reading the Will of Katherine Courteney, it appears there was also a brother to William named John. After the death of his first wife, he married Catherine de Courtenay. She was the daughter of Sir Philip de Courtney, Knight of Powderham Castle in Devon. She and Thomas had one son, George Rogers
