    The details of Thomas Hardy's immigration are not known. His name does not appear on any of the Winthrop Fleet lists of passengers. Thomas is thought to have been a servant to John Winthrop Jr. April 1, 1633, Thomas is listed as one of the nine men allowed by the Massachusetts Bay Company to go with John Winthrop Jr. into Agawam (Ipswich) to settle. In 1649 he married Ann French, daughter of immigrant Thomas French. Thomas was a ferry operator at Bradford. He owned about 800 acres when his estate was inventoried after his death in 1678.

    We are descended from Thomas and Ann through the Wright (Tucker) line.

    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.

    Ipswich, Massachusetts, is a town renowned for its historical and cultural heritage. Initially home to Indian tribes who named the area Agawam, it was established in 1634 by John Winthrop Jr. and a group of English settlers. Reflecting their roots, they named the town after Ipswich in England and officially incorporated it on August 4, 1634.

    Ipswich stands out for its exceptional collection of early 17th-century homes. With fifty-eight houses built before 1725, it boasts the largest number of well-preserved 17th and 18th-century houses in the United States. This distinction also makes Ipswich the American town with the highest number of historic houses, showcasing its rich architectural legacy.
