External Links WikiTree: William Hooper (1617-1678)
William Hooper, who identified himself as "aged 18 years" upon boarding the ship "James" from London in July 1635, settled in Reading, Massachusetts by 1644. A skilled weaver, William was admitted as a freeman on May 10, 1648, after joining the local church. His life in the colonies was marked by his dedication to his craft, as evidenced by his offer of his loom and weaving equipment to his younger sons. William was married twice; his first marriage was to Elizabeth, possibly of the Marshall family, as hinted by familial references in his will. His second marriage was to Ruth, who also might have had the surname Marshall. This union is confirmed by a property transfer signed by Ruth on December 14, 1664. We are descended from William and Ruth through the Laviolette (Shorey) 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.
