Puritan migration to New England (1620–1640)
The Puritan migration to New England took place from 1620 to 1640, and declined sharply thereafter. The term "Great Migration" can refer to the migration in the period of English Puritans to the New England Colonies, starting with Plymouth Colony and Massachusetts Bay Colony. They came in family groups rather than as isolated individuals and were mainly motivated by freedom to practice their beliefs. The Migration primarily came from East Anglia, specifically Lincolnshire, where John Cotton's teachings were most received in England.
