Description

Back Cover Text of “Finding the Plymouth Saints and Pilgrims”

This book follows William Bradford’s history as he describes the group of members of the Church of England who left to develop into “Separatists. How they met in the small town of Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, England at the home of William Brewster, their leader. This is where they met together and referred to as themselves “Saints”.

We will follow them in their struggles as outlaws and as they make several attempts to leave the country and sail to Holland. In the end, get away settling in Leyden, Holland. They were there eleven years but noticed the political situation used to be getting worse for the English there so they determined to sail to The us and sign up for the Virginia Colony.

They bought a small ship, the Speedwell, and sailed it to Plymouth England, for which they were referred to as the “Plymouth Colony” thereafter. They had also bought passage on a larger ship, the Mayflower, and loaded the whole thing to take with them. Unfortunately, the Speedwell couldn’t make this type of long voyage without leaking so they returned to Plymouth and adjusted the people and possessions then sailed away at the Mayflower into the Atlantic.
