WikiTree: Nicholas Byram (1610-1688)
It is hard to know if this is true or not. It may be, but it also maybe family legend. Nicholas Byram, according to family tradition, was the son of an English gentleman of some prominence.William's parents moved from England to Ireland about the time he was born in 1610. His father sent him at the age of sixteen to visit his friends in England, in the charge of a man who betrayed his trust, robbed him of his money, and took him to the West Indies, supposedly to Barbados. There he was sold to service to pay his passage, and after his term expired he made his way to New England in 1633 and settled at Weymouth. What we do know is that he was there at that time, and he married Susannah, daughter of Abraham Shaw, in Dedham about 1635. In 1660 he bought three proprietary or original purchase rights in Bridgewater where the young family settled. William's profession was as a physician, which explains his title.We are descended from Nicholas and Susannah through the Laviolete (DeRochemont-Shorey) line.

Great Migration (119)
The "Great Migration," as defined by the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS), encompasses the English Puritan migration to New England from 1620 to 1640. This movement primarily involved English Puritans who relocated in family units, driven by a quest for religious freedom and the aspiration to establish a Puritan commonwealth. These migrants originated from various regions of England and settled in areas that now form Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, including the Plymouth Colony and the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
An individual's inclusion in the Great Migration Study Project requires evidence of migration to New England within the specified period of 1620 to 1640. The project's objective is to compile biographical and genealogical profiles of all immigrants who arrived in New England during these two decades. The NEHGS has produced extensive volumes and directories, providing details about the lives of these immigrants. This collection presents research on many ancestors who were part of this significant historical migration.
You may be shocked by how many there are. Even I was at first. However, most of these Great Migration ancestors are my 9th and 10th great-grandparents, and in some cases 11th and 12th, and with the number of great-grandparents doubling with each generation, the possibilities quickly become immense. We have a total of 1024 sets of 9th great-grandparents and 2048 sets of 10th great-grandparents. This makes finding so many Great Migration ancestors more understandable.
