The New Haven Colony I: The Purest of Puritans (1638-1644)

Reverend John Davenport and his childhood friend, businessman Theophilus Eaton, lead a wave of the wealthiest and strictest Puritans out of England, unknowingly toward the tail end of the Puritan Exodus. Arriving in Massachusetts they find the colony divided and the “City on a Hill“ already tainted with heresy. Davenport and Eaton decide to form their own colony of New Haven out beyond the domain of Massachusetts, Plymouth or Rhode Island.
