Other towns were settled nearby, and Plymouth became the capital of the colony of New Plymouth.

The founding of Massachusetts, 1629-30.
Unlike the poor and humble pilgrims were the founders of Massachusetts.
They were men of wealth and social position as, for instance, John Winthrop and Sir Richard Saltonstall.
They left comfortable homes in England to found a Puritan state in America.
They got a great tract of land extending from the Merrimack to the Charles and westward across the continent.
Hundreds of colonists came over in the years 1629 to 1630.
They settled Boston, Salem, and neighboring towns.
In the next ten years, thousands more joined them.
From the beginning, Massachusetts was strong and prosperous.
Among so many people there were some who did not get on happily with the rulers of the colony.

Roger Williams and Religious Liberty
Among the newcomers was Roger Williams, a Puritan minister.
He disagreed with the Massachusetts leaders on several points.
For instance, he thought that the Massachusetts people had no right to their lands, and he insisted that the rulers had no power in religious matters, as enforcing the laws as to Sunday.
He insisted on these points so strongly that the Massachusetts government expelled him from the colony.
In the spring of 1636, with four companions, he founded the town of Providence.
