| Notes |
- 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
