John Frye
Our ancestor John Frye emigrated from
Basingstoke, Hampshire, England, sailing from
Southampton for New England in May 1638 in the Bevis of Hampton, Robert Baites, master. He settled early in
Newbury, Essex County, in Massachusetts Bay Colony. In 1645 he moved to
Andover in Essex County, named after the
Andover in Hampshire in England, because so many from Hampshire had settled there.
John was part of the puritanical, idealistic Righteous Generation. His children were all probably part of the heroic, civic-minded Glorious Generation.
