Notes:
The site of Weymouth first saw European inhabitants in 1622 as Wessagusset (Mesaguscasit), a colony founded by Thomas Weston, who had been the main backer of the Plymouth settlement. The settlement was a disaster. When the ship landed at Plymouth, William Bradford took in the settlers Weston had sent over. The settlers Weston had sent were soon stealing from the supplies of the Plymouth colonists and Bradford and the other leaders of Plymouth ended up asking Weston's men to leave. The men made their way to present-day Weymouth where they built a small settlement. It became part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630.
