| The Handmaid carried the last group of settlers that intentionally departed together from Leiden to Plymouth. Most of its passengers are unidentified. John Winthrop reported the arrival at Plymouth on October 29, 1630, reporting that she had been 12 weeks at sea, had lost only one of 60 passengers, but 10 of 28 cows.

| Founders of Watertown, MA
|
| Located along the Charles River, Watertown was one of the first settlements in Massachusetts Bay Colony. After a brief stay by Roger Clapp and others who then went on to settle Dorchester. In late July 1630, Sir Richard Saltonstall led a group of about 115 households to settle at Watertown, which at the time included parts of present-day Cambridge and much of the surrounding area; the population approached Boston's in the mid 17th century. In 1632 the residents of Watertown protested against being compelled to pay a tax for the erection of a stockade fort at Cambridge; leading to the establishment of representative government in the colony.
