| Hector (1637)
|
| The Hector brought passengers accompanying John Davenport and Theophilus Eaton to Connecticut in 1637. The Hector that brought the Davenport party to Massachusetts was a new vessel of 250 tons. Passengers on the Hectorsold their belongings in preparation for the sailing, but then the English government impressed the ship for the service of the crown. The owners petitioned for its release in January 1637, but the ship was not freed until May. The records indicate that the ship actually arrived in Massachusetts in June, but other references mention that the Hector also took the party to Connecticut in late 1637 or 1638. The group moved to the area now known as New Haven, Connecticut and eventually organized a government in June 1639.
