    "He was the son of Robert Puddington, a clothier of Tiverton, Devon, and Jane his wife, probably born 1600 or thereabouts. The father was an owner of mills which were burned, bringing him into financial difficulties shortly before his death. Law suits were part of the inheritance of his sons, and this may have been the reason for the emigration of the brothers George to Agamenticus and Robert to Portsmouth, some time before 1640"
