We have researched Hooker and Shepard because Robert Bradish shows up in Cambridge, Massachusetts by buying property there in 1634. This is right in the period of the Puritan ministers Rev. Hooker and Rev. Shepard. These two Reverends both graduated from Cambridge and Thomas Shepard married Joanna Hooker, daughter of Thomas Hooker. Therefore Shepard following Hooker to America is a logical extension of not only their Puritan faith but family connections as well. There are several books which are full of good information. Albion's Seed by David Hackett Fischer is especially good for explaining how East Anglia (Norfolk and Suffolk) was a hot bed of Puritanism (the chapter entitled East Anglia to Massachusetts: The Exodus of the English Puritans, 1629-41). Albion's Seed is also gives very descriptive information about the type of people (families) who came to America and the areas of England they came from. Also Cambridge Cameos by Roger Thompson has a good explanation of the movements of Thomas Shepard while he was "on the run in England." The book Pioneers of Massachusetts by Charles Henry Pope is a descriptive list of people who arrived in MA between 1620-1650. It is an alphabetical listing which gives not only information about where they are in MA by also where many of them came from. Again East Anglia is heavily represented. Hope this is what you are looking for. Connie Bradish

Is Pioneers of Massachusetts by Pope still in print? It would seem a must for those of us with a few ancestors of this migration. I guess I can just check with Amazon? - - - - Kenneth Nordtvedt See "Tree for I1" and "Tree and Map for haplogroup I" at http://knordtvedt.home.bresnan.net showing my working tree for YDNA haplogroup I.
