He was ordained at the Church of England and was appointed the priest of parish church of Egerton, Kent, England. In 1623 he renounced his orders and joined the cause of independent region. He was put in prison for this act along with 42 of his followers; however eighteen did escape capture. He was only to be pardoned from England if he were to leave permanently with his family. He did this and on 18 Sep 1634 he said on the ship Griffin for Plymouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, North America.

He tried with his followers to form a church of Christ at Scituate, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, North America, but because of the bad farming it did not last long before they moved and arrived on 11 Oct 1639 in Barnstable, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, North America. He did this after he petitioned Gov. Thomas Prence (c.1601 - 1673) of Plymouth, Massachusetts, North America. There at Barnstable they built homes for his family, a meeting house.
