Documents Richard Church #2 The Immigrant Great Migration Richard Church (1608-1668) A genealogical profile of Richard Church Great Migration: Richard Church (1608-1668)
https://www.americanancestors.org/DB393/rd/12107/360/235175056Richard Church embarked on a journey from England to the New World as a passenger on the Winthrop Fleet in 1630, settling in the Plymouth Colony. In Plymouth, Richard married Elizabeth Warren, the daughter of Richard Warren, a Mayflower passenger. Elizabeth came to Plymouth Colony with her mother and siblings in 1623 on the ship "Anne." Richard was a carpenter, and his craftsmanship was likely a valuable asset in the growing colony. We are descended from Richard and Elizabeth on the Wright (Tucker) line.

Albums 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.
