1630: Mary and John sails from Plymouth, ``In the early part of the
year 1630, a company of Puritan emigrants, gathered principally from
the counties of Devon, Dorcet, and Somersetshire, met at the New
Hospital, Plymouth, England, with a view of emigrating to the New
World. After a day of fasting and prayer, and a sermon by Rev. John
White, who had manifested deep interest in their undertaking, they
selected Rev. John Warham, of Execeter, and Rev John Maverick, as
their ministers. On March 30, 1630, the colony embarked for New
England, in a vessel of four hundred tons, chartered for the purpose,
named Mary and John, and commanded by Captain Squeb. There were one
hundred and forty passengers - a company of God-fearing people - as we
are told, `the word of God was preached and expounded every day during
the voyage.' '' - Stacy, History.
