    Many sources claim that John Throckmorton arrived in 1631 aboard the Lyon and was mis-recorded as "George Throckmorton". However, examination of the original freeman record shows "George", not "John", and there is no further record of a Throckmorton until John shows up five years later with Roger Williams. But it is unlikely given the prominence of John that he would have remained completely under the radar.

Founders of Providence, Rhode Island
Roger Williams was exiled from Massachusetts Bay in June 1636 for his religious beliefs. He settled the area now known as Providence with a few others, and two years in 1638 purchased it from the Narragansett. He then deeded 12/13 of it to twelve other religious dissenters known as the "Original Proprietors." There also exists in City Hall in Providence a manuscript that purports to show the lands of the first settlers, as originally allotted. It is undated, but appears to have been created before about 1650.
