9 Another way of approaching this problem is to study the English origins of householders in individual towns. Studies of seven towns yield the following results: Boston (n = 141): Suffolk and Essex, 59%; London 10%; scattering, 31 %; Sudbury (n = 52): Suffolk, Essex and Hertford, 36%; Wiltshire, Dorset and Hampshire, 36%; London, 9%, scattering, 19%; Ipswich (n= 121): Suffolk, 20%; Essex, 20%; Herts., Norf., Lines., and Kent, 23%; Middlesex, 9%; scattering, 28%; Hingham (n = 114): Norfolk, 59%; other Eastern counties, 16%; scattering 25%; Watertown (n = 82): Suffolk, 51%; Essex 17%; London and Middlesex, 12%; scattering, 20%; Rowley (n = 32): Yorkshire, 91%; East Anglia, 9%; Newbury (n= 74): Wiltshire and Hampshire, 61%; East Anglia, 10%; scattering, 29%. By and large, towns in what are now Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and Middlesex counties of Massachusetts drew most heavily from East Anglia. The area around Scituate harbor on the South Shore was settled from Kent. Exceptions included the towns of Dorchester (Dorset and Lancashire), Lancaster (Lancashire and Yorkshire) and Weymouth (Dorset and Somerset). Other colonies in New England, beyond the borders of Massachusetts, drew from different sources: Plymouth (n = 40): London, 55%; Yorkshire, 13%; Essex and Norfolk, 10%; scattering, 22%; New Haven (n = 110): London, 52%; East Anglia, 22%; Kent, 9%; Yorkshire, 9%; scattering, 8%. Sources include Darrett B. Rutman, Winthrop’s Boston: Portrait of a Puritan Town, 1630-1649 (Chapel Hill, 1965), 138; Edward S. Perzel, “The First Generation of Settlers in Colonial Ipswich, Massachusetts 1633-1660” (thesis, Rutgers, 1967), appendix II; and Allen, In English Ways, appendix; William Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation, 1620-1647, ed. S. E. Morison (New York, 1952), appendix; and Floyd Shumway, “Early New Haven and Its Leadership” (thesis, Columbia, 1971), 22; impressionistic but generally accurate generalizations about many other towns appear in Moriarity, “Social and Geographic Origins of the Founders of Massachusetts,” 49-65; also helpful is Anne R. Yentsch, “Expressions of Cultural Diversity and Social Reality in Seventeenth Century New England,” (thesis, Brown, 1980).
