PILGRIM FATHERS

The group that much later became known as the Pilgrim Fathers were separatists from the Church of England. They came from Nottinghamshire and left the Church of England in 1606 to form their own church. Because of continued persecution by the authorities, the congregation fled to Holland, where, in Leiden, they found the toleration they sought to worship as they chose. Although they remained here for some eleven years, conditions were poor and they realised that their children were growing up to be Dutch rather than English so they decided with the backing of a consortium of London merchants to emigrate to the English colonies in north America, then known collectively as Virginia after the virgin queen, Elizabeth I.

The "Mayflower" was a 180-ton vessel that had been previously employed in the shipment of wine. She was about 12-years-old when the leader of the Separatist congregation at Leiden in Holland, Mr John Carver, chartered her for a voyage to America. The ship was prepared for the voyage at Southampton, England. It is curious that the ship was not mentioned by name in William Bradford's famous account of the voyage, nor has she been described.

In the meantime, another vessel, the 60-ton "Speedwell" set sail from the port of Delftshaven amid tears and prayers on July 22nd 1620 with 35 members of the congregation and their leaders, William Bradford and William Brewster. They joined the "Mayflower" and the English Separatists at Southampton, from where they sailed on August 5th 1620 with about 120 passengers between them.

Answer 4

The short of it is Jamestown (1606) was the original first settlement. But America didn't look like it does today. As late as 1803 Virginia included all of Ky, Ohio & W.V. W.V. broke off during the Civil War in 1863. Va even claimed spots of other states north in 1783.

Answer 5

Neither. The first English settlement in America was James Town in Virginia. It was established in c1607. All of the people who went there came from East Anglia and sailed from Essex and London.

Try Jamestown in your search engine slot. Original spelling for Jamestown = YAMES TOWNE. No chance of an A-level then?

Answer 6

Plymouth UK

Sir Francis Drake - Apparantly!!

Answer 7

Plymouth...follow the link in sources and look under the heading First Landing.

Answer 8

Do not confuse the colony in Jamestown (1607) which left from Blackwall with the Plymouth colony in Massachusetts (1620) which actually left from Holland, stopped in Southampton and then made one last emergency stop in Plymouth.

And no, Sir Francis Drake's "colony" cannot be counted because while they did spend one winter in California, which might classify as the 'first', they really were not settlers, they were sailors staying for a winter to repair their ships.

Answer 9

Greenwich.
