Date:


1634

Description:


The journey to New England was difficult, and the family likely stayed in Roxbury for 9-10 weeks. William Manning Sr. said that ""When the Lord brought me to sea, I was overcome with a discontented mind, meeting there with hard and sad trials as fear of loss of my wife".[4/97]". William Manning Sr. and his wife Susanna, along with their son William, immigrated to New England in part because of Rev. Thomas Hooker. Hooker was a prominent puritan preacher, who wanted more tolerance between Christian denominations, and broke away from the Massachusetts colony to later form a colony in Connecticut. He is often called the "Father of the Connecticut". While the Manning family remained in Massachusetts, the following image is of an illustration of Rev. Hooker and his followers reaching Connecticut.
