Search, vol 13, p. 25-Stiles, in his Windsor History states that William B. Hayden of Portland, ME, furnished strong presumptive proof that William Hayden of Windsor, CT was a brother of John Hayden of Braintree, MA, and both came from Hinton Blewitt, Somerset. This Rev. Hayden wrote a book, the Heydons of England & America, 1877, after research in the British Museum, London. It has also been claimed that William Hayden was the son of Gideon Hayden of Ottery St. Mary, Devon, but that has been discredited.
On 20 March 1630, the ship Mary and John sailed from Plymouth, England with 140 passengers aboard. These families and passengers were recruited by the Reverend John White of Dorchester, Dorset. Nearly all of the Mary and John 1630 passengers came from the West Country counties of Somerset, Dorset, Devon and West Country towns of Dorchester, Bridport, Crewkerne and Exeter. The Mary and John 1630, landed in what is now know as Dorchester, Massachusetts, on 30 May 1630, two weeks before the Winthrop Fleet arrived. The passengers of the Mary and John 1630 founded one of the first towns in New England, Dorchester, Massachusetts in 1630 and also founded the town of Windsor, Connecticut five years later in 1635.
The Reverend John White, Vicar of Dorchester, England, who has been generally and rightfully acclaimed as the sponsor of the earliest Massachusetts settlement (Plymouth excepted), was the inspiration of a movement which culminated in the gathering of nearly one hundred and fifty persons in the counties of Dorset, Somerset, and Devon and their agreement to emigrate in a body to Massachusetts whither he had sent other groups in the previous six years. ... In describing this Company he said that scarce a half-dozen of them were personally known to each other prior to their assembling at the place of embarkation in Plymouth. It may be assumed that these people, from many parishes scattered over three counties, were moved by the same urge to emigrate which animated those of the Winthrop Fleet, but it is safe to say that the tales of 'religious persecution' of these people was not a factor in their pilgrimage. The West Country was free from it. ...

The Mary and John made a good passage and arrived at Nantasket May 30th without casualty. These one hundred and forty passengers are generally known as the Dorchester Company, from the place chosen for their settlement, and as they remained a distinct body of colonists, and there are contemporary records to identify most of them, it has been possible to compile a tentative list of those who came on this pioneer ship. ...'
