Biography

Her birth surname was de Weyden and it was anglicised to Pratt (both mean "meadow’"). ^{[1] [2] [3]} Her name was also recorded as Adrienne van der Weede in some sources. ^{[4] [5]}

Her parents were Bernard van der Weede Pratt, a fuller, and Anne Ortels, daughter of William Ortels. ^[5] They must have been married by 1511, when her father was named as a guardian for Anne's underage brothers, Joseph and Leonard Ortels. ^[5] Thus 1511 in Antwerp is a reasonable estimate for Adriana's year and place of birth.

In 1517 her name appeared in an Antwerp scabinal Act. ^[5]

She was related to Jacob van Meteren, who sponsored Myles Coverdale's 1535 translation of the Bible. ^[6] She was also a first cousin of the geographer Abraham Ortelius. ^{[4] [5]}

Adriana Alids DeWeyden-Pratt married about 1536 ^[7] in Warwick, England to John Rogers ^{[2] [6]} (1506-1555).

Eleven children were listed in the Visitations of Warwickshire in Harleian MS#1563 ^[8] and the 1634 Visitation of Middlesex. ^[9] In the order given there, they included ^{[2] [9]} ...

1. Daniel Rogers
2. John Rogers
3. Ambrose Rogers
4. Samuel Rogers
5. Philip Rogers
6. Bernard Rogers
7. Augustine Rogers
8. Barnaby Rogers
9. Susan Rogers
10. Elizabeth Rogers
11. Hester Rogers.

After her husband went back to England, Adriana and their German-born children were naturalised in 1552 in England. ^[6] That may have been when her birth surname was anglicised to Pratt.

Her husband Rev. John Rogers ^[9] was the first martyr during Queen Mary's reign who was burned at the stake in 1555 in Smithfield, London, England. ^{[2] [6]} She and her children were present at that time. ^[6]

She died on 08 Aug 1572 in Smithfield, London, England and was buried at St.Bartholomew the Great Churchyard in London, England. ^[10]

Research Notes

A source is needed for her middle name of Alids.

Apparently the parish registers for St.Bartholomew the Great started in 1616 which was almost 45 years after her death, ^[11] so the FindAGrave memorial may be unreliable.

3. ↑ Weyden, 'weide' in the nominative in modern Dutch, means ‘meadow’. One of two main etymologies for the English surname Pratt is from the Latin 'pratum' which also means 'meadow'. It is possible that her birth surname was rendered into Latin as "de Prato" in some documents or correspondence much as in medieval times last names are found translated into Latin in records (eg "de Bello Campo" for "de Beauchamp") - but that is just a surmise by Michael Cayley.
