Arrived in 1629 on the George Bonaventure with his wife and family as part of the "advance party" of the Puritans before Winthrop's Fleet was to arrive. Winthrop's Fleet, bearing the main body of first Puritan settlers, arrived in 1630. He was 36 years old and the three children with him were ages 2-6. One more child would be welcomed into this family the year after arrival, in 1630.
