Biographical Description

Thomas Rogers (d. 1790) was a resident of Tyrrell County. In 1777 he swore two secret oaths and became a member of the Gourd Patch Conspiracy. Daniel Leggett then proposed that Rogers go out and recruit more people to join the plot, but Rogers refused. When the plot was discovered, Rogers made a deposition before the Tyrrell County Court about what he knew and later had to appear at the Edenton District Superior Court of Oyer & Terminer.
