Why describe this as the "Puritan" Great Migration? That omits the Pilgrims who were not Puritans, they were Separatists.
Note that the article you cite clearly states "This article is about Puritan migration of the 1630s." It's about the Winthrop Fleet of the 1630s. I'm just saying that those who came in the 1620s were not Puritans.
It seems like "Great Migration, 1620-1640" is sufficient to distinguish it from other migrations, but I suppose it could be called "New England Great Migration". jbbullock/Jim (How do you get the time and date stamp on your posts?)
Thanks for the tip on signatures. Yes, I've been adding data for a number of years to my "Rehoboth Roots" database in RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project at http://wc.rootsweb.com/~jbbullock. Its focus is on the early settlers of Rehoboth, Bristol Co., MA, and their ancestors and descendants in colonial New England. I have all of Anderson's Great Migration volumes and many other books and CDs on colonial New England. --Jbbullock 14:48, 14 April 2011 (EDT)
Thanks for the welcome Jillaine. I do have a dozen Barbers in my Rehoboth data, but they didn't come until the 18th century. There weren't many others in the rest of Bristol Co., MA. I do have some in N. Kingston, RI. The Miller/Millard family that Thomas married into was much more common. --Jim 22:36, 17 April 2011 (EDT) |
