      Sailed to America on April 24, 1638 on the ship Confidence. Sailed from South Hampton, England, landed at Watertown, Ma. on the Charles River. Ship list included: Edmund, wife Ann, sons John and Thomas. John, wife Jane, daughters Lydia and Jane. Thomas, wife Jane, son Thomas.
      Ursula Dorothy wife of John Ruddock Sailed to America for religious freedom. It was hard to find farms in the established community, so most of the immigrants from the Confidence moved inland up the valley of the Musketaquid River, to settle the town of Sudbury, granted by the Ma. General Court in fall of 1638.
      In 1656 settlers petitioned the Ma. authorities to grant land for a new town of Marlborough, Ma. just west of Sudbury. The library in Sudbury is still the "Goodenow Library".
