      This was on page 3:
      In December of 1630, a small, one hundred ton boat, the "Lyon" (which became famous in the history of the early immigration to Massachusetts) sailed from Bristol, England with about twenty passengers and two hundred tons of goods. Her Master, Captain William Pierce, noted for his skillful seamanship, was at her helm. Among the passengers was the reverend Roger Williams and his wife Mary; John Throckmorton with his wife Rebecca and children, John and Patience; John Perkins with his wife Judith and children John, Elizabeth, Mary, Thomas and Jacob; Edmond Onge and his wife Frances and children Simon and Jonah; and William Parke. On February 5, 1631, the little boat docked in Boston for her Master was sympathetic to the policy of the Puritan leaders. Here is the list of passengers on the Lyon which are recorded in the book "The Perkins Family in Ye Olden Times" by D. W. Perkins 1916.

  • Notes 
    • He was noted for his skillful seamanship and his sympathy with the policy of the Puritan leaders. His wife, Bridget, joined the church February 2, 1632/3; perhaps a second wife, as a William Peirce, mariner of Whitechapel, was licensed in 1615 to marry Margaret Gibbs. Whitechapel and Stepney are adjoining parishes. He became a Town and Colony official and was engaged in coastwise shipping thereafter. He compiled an Almanac for New England which was the second issue in 1639 from the Daye press at Cambridge.
