Excerpt from Gleanings From Colonial and American Records of Parker and Morse Families: A. D. 1585-1915 Descendants of nearly all the most ancient and celebrated families in England are to be found in the United States. "The Old Dominion was settled principally by Cavaliers, while the New England Colonies were founded by Parliamentarian refugees. One great source of the unfriendly feeling manifested by the South toward the North was undoubtedly the lingering prejudice of the old Cavalier spirit against Republican round headism." Large numbers of emigrants from the counties of Essex, Kent and Middlesex, arrived in America, and sojourning for a time in Boston and its vicinity, finally settled in Massachusetts, Southern Connecticut and Rhode Island. Most of these people were of condition well educated and possessed of property, who, "disgusted with the rule of Cromwell and his fanatics, sought an asylum where the profession of the doctrine of the old non-conforming creed would not expose them to persecution and peril."
