Rev. Simon Bradstreet

My 10th great-grandfather was a well educated and rebellious Puritan vicar in England.  His son Simon and daughter-in-law Ann Dudley would carry his Puritan streak all the way to America.

Simon Bradstreet was on of the first Fellows of Emanuel College, Cambridge University, England and Vicar of Horbling Lincolnshire from 1596 to 1621.

He may have left England for Holland as the “Great Migration” moved toward America, but this information is unproven:
From “History of Newfield” page 447. He was a non-conformist minister in Lincolnshire, England, and Middelburg, Holland; married and died about 1617.

His death date is probably 1620-21, and some believe he died in England.
