Pilgrim Fathers hen the Pilgrims fled from England to Holland to evade persecution they were but one of many groups seeking refuge in Leiden. Holland was tolerant, after feeling the Spanish terror and converting to a sober-minded Protestantism. Also, the economic advantages of this influx of artisans and craftsmen was recognized; the boom in the Leiden cloth industry owed a lot to the arrival of French and Flemish weavers. The Pilgrims led a quiet life in Leiden between 1609 and 1620. They held their services in a chapel of the university. William Bradford was a member of the wool guild and reverend John Robinson lived in the spot where later the Jean Pesijn almshouses were built. Robinson stayed in Leiden, died and was buried in the Peter's Church in 1625. In the Pieterskerkchoorsteeg one can still find the house where William Brewster's Pilgrim Press produced dissident pamphlets which were smuggled to England. But peace and quiet wasn't enough for the Pilgrims. The tolerance they enjoyed also became a source of irritation. Too many different creeds and lifestyles influenced their offspring and after 12 years they decided to leave for the New World to found a society completely based on their convictions. The Leiden American Pilgrim Museum in the Beschuitsteeg treats the Leiden stay of the Pilgrims.

Times Separatists Escape to Holland A utumn 1608 A Puritan Separatists' group formed in Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, and led by William Brewster, have escaped to Holland without royal permission. After enduring prison in England and uncertain sea voyages, the group were hoping to settle in Amsterdam. S ome Separatists embarked last spring from a quiet spot on the East coast between Grimsby and Hull in a Dutch ship, arriving in Holland after enduring a terrible sea journey all of 14 days later. The women and children left behind were all arrested but the constables did not know what to do with them and they were eventually released to join their menfolk in Amsterdam. The Scrooby group have joined the members of Rev. John Smith's Gainsborough Separatists who moved to Amsterdam a year ago. Puritans T he Separatists were part of the Puritan movement who want to purify the church, carry reformation beyond the Act of Uniformity (1559) that orders every minister to use the Book of Common Prayer. They believed in freedom of worship and the simplicity of religious life, wanting more emphasis on preaching than ritual or doctrine.

"A stranger might think we were gone adrift. That is, until he knew about our moorin's and our holdin' ground." Ted RussellThe Holdin' Ground You'd see my applet if you had a Java-capable browser. Squantum (Squanto) and Cupids On March 16, 1621, an important event occured for the Pilgrim Fathers. An Indian, Samoset, walked into their Plymouth settlement and called out "Welcome Englishmen, Welcome Englishmen." After he spoke, the Pilgrims whispered in amazement. The man spoke English. He seemed friendly, so the Pilgrims greeted him openly, yet cautiously. Samoset told them he would return with his friend who spoke better English. When he returned as he had promised, he brought not only his friend Squantum (Squanto,) but also Massasoit (the sachem or tribal chief.) Samoset indroduced Squantum to the Pilgrims as "a native of this place who had been in England and could speak better English than himself.(1)" With the help of Squantum's interpretation, Massasoit and Governor Carver made a peace treaty that would last for at least fifty more years.

New Hampshire Also see: New England Affairs When North America was first settled by the English race the blessings of religious freedom had not yet fully dawned upon mankind. For a century the Christian world had struggled with the intolerant spirit of the Middle Ages. Much, indeed, had been accomplished, but the evolution was slow, and another century must elapse before one could stand in the broad daylight of religious liberty. These Dissenters, or Nonconformists, as they were often called, were very numerous during the reign of James I. James was a narrow-minded pedant, and probably without any very deep religious convictions. Bred in the Presbyterian faith, he despised Presbyterianism because incompatible with his ideas of monarchy. Of the Puritans he said, "I will make them conform, or I will harry them out of the land." They refused to conform, and the cruel monarch did the latter he harried them out of the land.

elcome to the Society of Mayflower Descendants in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania web page. One of fifty-two societies in the U.S. and Canada, the Pennsylvania Society consists of descendants of the Pilgrims, the 102 English passengers who came to New England from Holland aboard the ship Mayflower in 1620. On September 16, 1620, 102 men, women, children, servants and craftsmen, plus officers and seaman set sail from Plymouth, England, on an overburdened, 180-ton ship called the Mayflower . The rest is history. Unfortunately, time has blurred the Pilgrims' history. Many still confuse the Mayflower's passengers with the Puritans, a strict religious sect, who landed a decade later at Salem, Massachusetts. SAIL1620 is designed to be fun as well as an educational road map to this corner of 17th century history. Within the pages of this Web site we have tried to provided you with useful information, not just about our state society, but also a clear and factual reference to the lives and history of the Pilgrim Forefathers, Plymouth Colony, and their ship the Mayflower © 2002 Society of Mayflower Descendants In The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Pilgrim Images Courtesy of Plimoth Plantation

Introduction Chronicles of the Pilgrim Fathers with an Introduction by John Masefield They entered into covenant to walk with God and one with another, in the enjoyment of the Ordinances of God, according to the Primitive Patern in the Word of God. But finding by experience they could not peaceably enjoy their own liberty in their Native Country, without offence to others that were differently minded, they took up thoughts of removing The prisoners in country gaols were then supported out of the rates. The keeping of large numbers of people in prison, in idleness, proved to be a great burden upon the rates of the towns where they were gaoled. The authorities who felt the burden soon became anxious to get rid of their prisoners. They released them and connived at their leaving the country. By August 1608, the whole party was safely in Amsterdam. During the next few months, after some contention with the party from Gainsborough, a hundred of the Scrooby party obtained leave to go to Leyden, where they settled down to the manufacture of woollen goods. They were joined from time to time by other Separatists from England. In a few years their communion numbered some three hundred souls, among whom were Edward Winslow, John Carver, and Miles Standish. In the year 1617, these exiles began to realize that Holland, though a seasonable refuge, could not be their abiding place. The children were growing up. The parents did not wish to send them to Dutch schools, because the Dutch children were of bad behaviour. The parents feared that the children, if sent to school in Holland, would receive evil communications and lose something of their nationality. No one is so proud of his nationality as the exile. The fear that the colony might become a part of the Dutch population caused the leaders to think of travelling elsewhere. Guiana, the first place suggested, was rejected as unsuitable, because it was supposed to contain gold. Gold, or the prospect of finding

Here, the shackles of poverty, restriction and injustice would magically fall away and in this second Garden of Eden, men and women could at long last be free to pursue their own destiny. It was, of course, a utopian dream and took no account of the perils that lurked in unknown territory which was already occupied by native Americans, not all of whom were friendly. Nevertheless, the dream was extremely potent, not only for those who sought AmericaÕs fabled wealth, but those whose consciences were chained by religious persecution. The Protestant Reformation, which had begun in 1517, had reached England some twenty years later. As elsewhere in Europe, it spawned dissenting minorities who were rather more ascetic in the practice of their new faith than the Church of England which was Protestant in name, but was, effectively, Catholicism without the Pope. Of these, the plain-living Puritans who eschewed what they saw as the gaudy, papist show of the English church, were the most overt and became the most oppressed. In 1609, the Puritans found England so inimical that 35 of them left the country and settled at Leyden, in Holland. Holland was much more to their strict religious taste, but after ten years, the Puritans began to seek a better freedom than a patch in a foreign land.

Shakespeare's London Dickens' London The American Connection Churches with Character ... Wandering Wheels The Pilgrim Fathers The story of the Mayflower and the small band of religious dissidents who boarded her in the hope of finding freedom in the New World must be one of the best-known tales in history. Determined to win the right to worship according to their own consciences, 101 men, women and children set out from Plymouth, England on a perilous journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Their intended destination was the British colony of Virginia but the Mayflower was blown around 500 miles off course and they finally took shelter in a natural harbour at what later became Provincetown, Massachusetts. After exploring the area, the travellers disembarked near the head of Cape Cod on December 21, 1620 but arguments had broken out between them over how the colony they intended to found should be governed. This led to the formulation of a binding agreement known as the Mayflower Compact which was effectively the first constitution to be written in America. Now a unified group, the passengers of the
