Great Migration
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.» Great Migration «Prev «1 ... 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 ... 119» Next»

Not much is known about Reynold and Ann, but it is believed they were Quakers. Reynold was working for John Winter on Richmond's Island off the coast of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, as early as 1632 until 1637 or 39. He married Ann in 1647, at which time he was in Kittery. He bought a house in Eliot, Maine in 1650.It is possible but not proven that Reynold was the son of Reginald Jenkins, who was in Dorchester in 1630 and was killed by the Indians in Cape Porpus in 1632.
