In March 1636, James and his two younger brothers, John and Miles, sailed from Bristol, England and arrived in Boston, MA the following April. John Morgan, his next younger brother, who from tradition appears to have been a high churchman and to have exceedingly disliked the austerity of the Puritans, left Boston in disgust for more congenial society in Virginia, soon after their arrival. Miles Morgan, the youngest brother, born in 1615, on his arrival at Boston, or soon after, joined a party of emigrants, mostly from Roxbury, of whom Col. William Pyncheon was at the head, and founded the settlement of Springfield, MA.
