"In 1629, the Massachusetts Bay Company organized on a joint-stock basis and obtained from the King a charter authorizing it to establish a colony in New England and to govern it in much the same way as the Virginia Company governed Jamestown. The new company was the successor of the New England Company (1628-1629), which had purchased land in the area ofMassachusetts from the Council for New England (1620-1635), which succeeded the Plymouth Company. In 1628-1629, the New England Company had begun a settlement at present Salem. This settlement incorporated small groups of colonists from Dorchester, England, already at the site, who had moved there in 1626 from Gloucester, which they had settled in 1623.
"The Massachusetts Bay Company was chartered as a commercial rather than a religious enterprise. But most of the stockholderswere Puritans, In August 1629, a significant event in U S constitutional development occurred: the signing of the Cambridge Agreement. This agreement marked the acceptance of the offer of John Winthrop and 11 other prominent nonconformists to migrate to America as members of the board of directors if the headquarters of the company were transferred to the New World. All company officers not willing to migrate resigned, and Massachusetts was designated as company headquarters.
"The agreement had far-reaching significance because the company was authorized to govern the colony; when its headquarters, officers, directors, and principal stockholders moved to the colony itself, Massachusetts became completely self-governing and legitimately authorized by the Crown. Furthermore, the charter became the basis of the government- in essence a written constitution superior to the officers of the company themselves.
"The great Puritan migration began. Winthrop was elected Governor. Carrying the charter with him, in 1630 he headed the first contingent of colonists. Before the end of the year, approximately 2,000 persons had migrated to Massachusetts. In the ensuing decade, more than 200 ships transported about about 20,000 Puritans to Massachusetts, which thrived almost from the beginning. In rapid succession, the towns of Boston Cambridge, Watertown, Charlestown, and 18 others were founded...
"In time, the Puritan leaders broadened suffrage, created a representative assembly, and evolved a bicameral legislature. Yet, for the most part, the original tightly knit, Puritan oligarchy retained close control of the government. Church and state were interwoven; person behavior and religious practices were closely related and supervised.
"For this very reason and because of the fact that the Puritans would not tolerate divergent religious views, dissenters founded other colonies in New England. Winthrop and his assistants, seeking to protect their `holy experiment,' were probably more intolerant of diversity in religion than Charles I. They drove hundreds of `otherwise thinking' people out of Massachusetts- to the lasting benefit of the Nation that later emerged on the Atlantic coast."

"Seat of Hampden County Massachusetts, on the Connecticut River...
"William Pynchon, one of the original patentees of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, gounded a settlement of the river's west bank in 1635. Their colonists' livestock did so much damage to the cornfields of the Indians, however, that the community moved to the present east-bank site in 1636. It was organized as a town in 1641 and named for Pynchan's birthplace in England. Pychon's autocratic rule ended in 1652 when he returned to England, after being condemned by the Massachusetts General Court for a book attacking the Calvinist doctrine of atonement..."
