• Residence 1, 1619 - Bridport, England
By 1623 he was residing in Dorchester, Dorset, England where he and
Elizabeth were members of Holy Trinity Church. The rector of the church
was Rev. John White, who has been called "Founder of Massachusetts."• Letter 1, 1629
Rev. White wrote to Govenor Endicott, "to appoint places of habitation
for sixty families out of Dorsetshire which were to arrive the following
spring." A meeting was held on October 15, 1629, "at the Deputyes
House". Twenty five members of the council which financed the emigrants
were there and "Mr. Forde, with divers others of the genalitie."
This meeting was arranged so that the finance company would
benefit for seven years by the shipping of furs. The government of the
colony was to be placed into the hands of Gov. John Winthrop in New
England.• Immigration 1, 1630
Thomas and his family came on the ship "Mary and John". At the time of
his passage the cost was 5 pounds per adult, 10 pounds per horse, 3
pounds per ton of freight.MARY AND JOHN - 1630
; Master Thomas Squeb; owner was Roger Ludlow; weight, 400 tons; had 40
-50 crewmen. Sailed from Plymouth with 140 passengrs on 20 March 1630.
The day of the sailing was the Saturday before Palm Sunday. Landed
Nantasket, Massachusetts, 30 May, 1630.The ship was
supposed to land at the Charles river but Capt. Squeb refused to
navigate the Boston Harbor, probably because of it's islands, sandbars
and shoals. He had the passengers disembark at Nantasket Point. On June
1630 John Winthrop sent for Capt. Squeb at Nantasket, where the "Mary and
John" lay. He did not record what was said. "[John] Winthrop seemed to
think he had 'ended [the] difference between him [Capt. Squeb] and the
passengers', in token of which Captain Squeb gave the order for a salute
of five guns in the govenor's honour and it was said that Squeb later
paid compensation to [Roger] Ludlow."
