sentences: Edward Winslow (18 October 15958 May 1655) was a Separatist who traveled on the "Mayflower" in 1620.
 He was one of several senior leaders on the ship and also later at Plymouth Colony.
 Both Edward Winslow and his brother, Gilbert Winslow signed the Mayflower Compact.
 In Plymouth he served in a number of governmental positions such as assistant governor, three times was governor and also was the colony's agent in London.
 In early 1621 he had been one of several key leaders on whom Governor Bradford depended after the death of John Carver.
 He was the author of several important pamphlets, including "Good Newes from New England" and co-wrote with William Bradford the historic "Mourt's Relation", which ends with an account of the First Thanksgiving and the abundance of the New World.
 In 1655 he died of fever while on a British naval expedition in the Caribbean against the Spanish.
 He is the only Plymouth colonist with an extant portrait, and this can be seen at Pilgrim Hall, Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Henry Barrowe (or Barrow) (  1550 6 April 1593) was an English Separatist Puritan, executed for his views.
The Scrooby Congregation were English Protestant separatists who lived near Scrooby, on the outskirts of Bawtry, a small market town at the border of South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.
 In 1607/8 the Congregation emigrated to the Netherlands in search of the freedom to worship as they chose.
 They founded the "English separatist church at Leiden", one of several English separatist groups in the Netherlands at the time.
The Reverend John Lyford (c. 1580 – 1634) was a controversial figure during the early years of the Plymouth Colony.
 After receiving degrees from Oxford University (A.B. 1597, A.M. 1602), he became pastor at Leverlegkish, near Laughgaid, Armagh, Ireland.
 He was the first ordained minister to come to the Plymouth Colony.
 He arrived in 1624 aboard the Charity and pretended to be sympathetic to the Separatist movement there, while in reality he was allied with the Church of England.
 In the months ahead, the leaders of the colony discovered that Lyford had been writing letters to England disparaging the Separatist movement at Plymouth.
 Governor William Bradford seized some of these letters before they were sent, opened them, and confronted Lyford about their contents.
 Lyford apologized, but later wrote another similar letter that was also intercepted.
 After the second incident, Lyford was sentenced to banishment.
William Bradford ( 19 March 1590May 9, 1657) was an English Separatist originally from the West Riding of Yorkshire.
 He moved to Leiden in Holland in order to escape persecution from King James I of England, and then emigrated to the Plymouth Colony on the "Mayflower" in 1620.
 He was a signatory to the Mayflower Compact and went on to serve as Governor of the Plymouth Colony intermittently for about 30 years between 1621 and 1657.
 His journal "Of Plymouth Plantation" covered the years from 1620 to 1657 in Plymouth.
The Pilgrim Fathers Memorial is located on the north bank of The Haven at the site of the former Scotia Creek, Fishtoft, seaward of Boston in Lincolnshire, England, and consists of a small granite obelisk mounted on a granite block.
 It commemorates the attempt at finding religious freedom in September, 1607 by the Scrooby Congregation, a group of English Separatist Protestants who left for Holland.
 They were precursors of the Pilgrims who later crossed the Atlantic to New England.
The Ainsworth Psalter was written by English Separatist clergyman Henry Ainsworth and was brought to America by the Pilgrims in 1620.
 It was published in Holland in 1612.
 It is a parallel translation, including a literal rendering of the Psalms and an accompanying metrical Psalms.
John Crackston (c.1575 – c.1620/21) was an English Separatist from Holland who came with his son John on the historic 1620 voyage of the Pilgrim ship "Mayflower".
 He was a signatory to the Mayflower Compact, but perished with the first Pilgrims to die the winter of 1620, exact date unknown.
 His son John later died in his twenties.
In the early 17th century, thousands of English Puritans settled in North America, mainly in New England.
 Puritans were generally members of the Church of England who believed that the Church of England was insufficiently reformed, retaining too much of its Roman Catholic doctrinal roots, and who therefore opposed royal ecclesiastical policy under Elizabeth I of England, James I of England, and Charles I of England.
 Most Puritans were "non-separating Puritans", meaning that they did not advocate setting up separate congregations distinct from the Church of England; a small minority of Puritans were "separating Puritans" who advocated setting up congregations outside the Church.
 The Pilgrims were a Separatist group, and they established the Plymouth Colony in 1620.
 Non-separating Puritans played leading roles in establishing the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629, the Saybrook Colony in 1635, the Connecticut Colony in 1636, and the New Haven Colony in 1638.
 The Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations was established by settlers expelled from the Massachusetts Bay Colony because of their unorthodox religious opinions.
 Puritans were also active in New Hampshire before it became a crown colony in 1691.
Moses Fletcher (c.1564-1620/1).
 In Pilgrim records written by William Bradford his name is given as “Moyses Fletcher.”
 He came to America on the historic 1620 voyage of the Pilgrim ship "Mayflower".
 He was a signatory to the Mayflower Compact and perished shortly thereafter in the Pilgrims first winter in the New World.
