John and Elizabeth opted to leave Clerkenwell with their infant son in 1666 and followed Elizabeth's brother, Sir William Morton, to America. The Randalls were briefly in Newport, Rhode Island, but by 1667 they were settled in Westerly, Rhode Island, where John became a farmer, had four more children, including our ancestor Mathew in 1671, and remained for most of their lives.
