  • We arrived in Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1631. I thought that people should have the right to choose their religion, and that religion should be separate from government. The Puritans did not like that I disagreed with them, so I was forced to leave.
  • I became too sick to leave the colony right away, so I still had time to convince my friends and family that my views were best. Colony leaders found this out and had arranged to send me back to England, where I would have to go to prison! Luckily I found out about this plan and made my escape.

  • After working hard to make Providence an official colony, which happened in 1644, I was the president of the colony from 1654-1657. I was also a farmer, writer, and trader. I was a very important part of Rhode Island history until my death in the winter of early 1683.
  • 1644 - 1683
  • I went to Narragansett Bay and purchased land from the Native Americans. I built a settlement that is now known as Providence, Rhode Island. The rules and laws of this colony were not based on religious views, but on issues that involved all people. Everyone was allowed to practice any religion that they believed in. Because of this, Providence became popular to those looking for religious freedom.
