1 jan 1623 ano - 1623 Blaxton Lands Near Weymouth

Descrição:

1623
Blaxton joined the failed Ferdinando Gorges expedition to America in 1623, and arrived in Weymouth, Massachusetts in 1623 on the ship Katherine as a chaplain in the subsequent expedition of Robert Gorges.

Reverend William Blaxton, an Anglican clergyman born in Lincolnshire, England in 1595, lands near Weymouth with his collection of 186 books written in various languages.

Blaxton is part of a group brought by Captain Robert Gorges to establish a religious settlement – but in a rough moment for Puritan history, they discover another group of English settlers already occupying the land they’d hoped to claim.
