1630

• De Eendracht to NY

• The Mary and John Clearing House - On 20 March 1630 the ship Mary & John sailed from Plymouth, England, with 140 passengers. The families were all recruited by the Rev. John White of Dorchester, Dorset. Nearly all of these families came from the West Country of England, i.e. counties of Somerset, Dorset and Devon. The ship landed in New England, on 30 May 1630, two weeks before the Winthrop Fleet arrived. These people founded one of the first towns in Massachusetts, Dorchester, 1630, and one of the earliest in Connecticut, Windsor, five years later. After a descendant of these passengers found that he had 18 ancestors aboard this ship he began an in depth study of these families and eventually the Mary & John Clearing House, in 1985.
