"They tell of the faith of Robinson and Hooker, the piety of Brewster, the diplomacy of Winslow and Winthrop, the valor of Standish and Mason; they define the cardinal motives of the strong and masterful men among the twenty-six thousand people who came over from Old England to New England from 1620 to 1640. And these motives had their origin in the ecclesiastical and civil despotism of the English Church and Throne, with its rancorous doctrinal hatreds, which found chief expression in the Acts of Supremacy and Uniformity, and its enforcement in the Courts of High Commission and Star Chamber".--Page 6. |

"In 1635 Roger Ludlow joined with other Puritans and Congregationalists who were dissatisfied with the rate of Anglican reforms, and sought to establish an ecclesiastical society subject to their own rules and regulations. The Massachusetts General Court granted them permission to settle the cities of Windsor, Wethersfield, and Hartford in the area now known as Connecticut.[6] The Ludlows settled into Windsor.[3] However, ownership of the lands for the new towns along the Connecticut River was called into dispute by the English holders of the Warwick Patent of 1631 that had been granted by Robert Rich, 2nd Earl of Warwick.[7] The Massachusetts General Court established the March Commission to mediate the dispute between the Connecticut colony and the Saybrook Colony, and named Roger Ludlow as its head. The Commission named eight magistrates from the Connecticut towns to implement a legal system."--Wikipedia. |
