    Great Migration
    Great Migration (119)
    The "Great Migration," as defined by the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS), encompasses the English Puritan migration to New England from 1620 to 1640. This movement primarily involved English Puritans who relocated in family units, driven by a quest for religious freedom and the aspiration to establish a Puritan commonwealth. These migrants originated from various regions of England and settled in areas that now form Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, including the Plymouth Colony and the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

    An individual's inclusion in the Great Migration Study Project requires evidence of migration to New England within the specified period of 1620 to 1640. The project's objective is to compile biographical and genealogical profiles of all immigrants who arrived in New England during these two decades. The NEHGS has produced extensive volumes and directories, providing details about the lives of these immigrants. This collection presents research on many ancestors who were part of this significant historical migration.

    You may be shocked by how many there are. Even I was at first. However, most of these Great Migration ancestors are my 9th and 10th great-grandparents, and in some cases 11th and 12th, and with the number of great-grandparents doubling with each generation, the possibilities quickly become immense. We have a total of 1024 sets of 9th great-grandparents and 2048 sets of 10th great-grandparents. This makes finding so many Great Migration ancestors more understandable.

  • Notes 
    • Richard and Jane (unknown maiden name) Champney married in 1629 and had 6 children together, 2 born in England and 4 in Cambridge. The growing family emigrated on the Defence in1635 and setted in Cambridge, Massachusetts Bay where he became the ruling elder of the Cambridge church. And, like almost all the first settlers, he was a farmer. Richard engaged in numerous land transactions, being granted or purchasing hundreds of acres in Cambridge and Billerica. The inventory after his death in 1669 (Jane died the same year) listed real estate in Cambridge valued at over 1200 pounds and in Billerica valued at 410 pounds, making him one of the richest men in Massachusetts Bay.We are descended from Richard and Jane on the Wright (Tucker) side.
