Rogers was the son of John Rogers, merchant of Kingston upon Hull, and his wife Elizabeth Nelthorpe, daughter of Edward Nelthorpe of Barton-on-Humber, Lincolnshire, who had married in 1665. His grandfather, John Rogers, was an alderman, and was mayor of Hull in 1652; his father was mayor in 1673, and died in 1680. Nathaniel in turn became an alderman of Hull. [1]

Rogers was returned as Member of Parliament for Kingston upon Hull, at a by-election on 13 March 1717 in succession to his brother-in-law, William Maister. He voted against the Government on Cadogan on 4 June 1717 and on the Peerage Bill in 1719, and with them on the repeal of the Occasional Conformity and Schism Acts. He was re-elected at the 1722 general election, but did not stand in 1727. [1]

Rogers died in late March 1737, [2] and was buried in the South Choir Aisle of Holy Trinity Church (now Hull Minster) on 31 March: [3] his tomb slab, shared with his brother John (d. 1728), much worn, can still be seen.
