Migrated on the Hector in 1637. He was among the founders of New Haven Colony, Southold, Long Island, and Rye, New York. Many of his progeny later settled in both Southold, Long Island, as well as Rye, Westchester Co, New York.
Excerpt from "The New Haven Colony" by Isabell MacBeath Calder,
published by Yale Univ. Press in 1934:
"Others (probably from the neighborhood, but not members of St. Stephens): Ezekiel Cheever, Edward Bannister, Richard Beach, Richard Beckley, John Brockett, John Budd, John Cooper, Arthur Halbidge, Mathew Hitchcock, Andrew Hull, Andrew Low, Andrew Messenger, Mathew Moulthrop, Francis Newman, Robert Newman, Richard Osborn, Edward Patteson, John Reader, William Thorp and Samuel Whitehead. The group chartered the "Hector" of London. On June 26, 1637, John Winthrop recorded the arrival of the group from London at Boston. "
THe following is the passenger list for the vessel Hector, which brought the passengers accompanying John Davenport and Theophilus Eaton to Connecticut in 1637. There is another ship called the Hector that brought the first Scottish Highlanders to Nova Scotia in the mid-1700's, but the Hector Heritage Foundation in Nova Scotia states that the ship that brought the Davenport/Eaton party is a different vessel.
The Hector that brought the Davenport party to Massachusetts was a new vessel of 250 tons, which had already made a previous passage to Massachusetts Bay. The records indicate that the ship actually arrived in Massachusetts, but other references mention that the Hector also took the party to Connecticut in late 1637 or 1638. A passenger ship list for the trip from Massachusetts Bay to New Haven, Connecticut has not been located.
Passengers on the Hector sold their belongings in preparation for the sailing, but then the English government impressed the ship for the service of the crown. The owners petitioned for its release in January 1637, but the ship was not freed until May. According to the records of John Winthrop of Massachusetts Bay, the ship arrived in Boston (from London England) on June 26, 1637. Passengers:
John & Elizabeth Davenport, Theophilus Eaton, Old Mrs. Eaton, his mother, Anne Eaton, second wife of Theophilus Eaton and daughter of George Loyd Bishop of Chester and widow of Thomas Yale, The children of Anne Eaton by her former marriage, Edward Hopkins, Richard Malbon, Nathaniel Rowe, William Andrews, Henry Browning, James Clark, Jasper Crane, Jeremy Dixon, Nicholas Elsey, Francis Hall, Robert Hill, William Ives, George Smith, George Ward, Lawrence Ward, Ezekiel Cheever, Edward Bannister, Old Jewry, Richard Beach, Richard Beckley, John Brockett, John Budd, John Cooper, Arthur Halbidge, Mathew Hitchcock, Andrew Hull, Andrew Low, Andrew Messenger, Mathew Moulthrop, Francis Newman, Robert Newman, Richard Osborn, Edward Patteson, John Reader, William Thorp, Samuel Whitehead.

****************************
In May 1637, a ship called the "Hector" sailed out of London, bound for Boston in England's newly established American colonies. Aboard this ship was a wealthy British shipping merchant John Budd (c. 1599 - 1670), his wife Katherine Browne (1606 - 1674, a woman of royal ancestry), and their children. Together, they were among my earliest ancestors to sail to America.
Town Founding No. 1: NEW HAVEN COLONY
In August 1637, an exploring party of English settlers sailed out of Boston Harbor, went down the coast several miles, and landed at a place that the Native American Indians called "Quinnipiac" (or "Long Water Place"). The explorers liked what they saw and left seven of their men to prepare the area for occupation by Puritan colonizers. On March 30, 1638, a large company of settlers sailed out of Boston for the new site. Among them were the Budd family. On April 16, 1638, they landed at the new site to found New Haven Colony. Other ships followed, bringing more settlers.
The settlers quickly began building their new colony. In late 1638, they purchased the land from the Indians. John Budd was assigned lot no. 56. On October 25, 1639, the settlers elected their community government. John Budd was among the men signing a Fundamental Agreement formally establishing New Haven Colony.
Most of the first settlers at New Haven were Puritans -- a strict religious group that later formed the basis for the Congregational Church and the Church of Christ in the United States. John Budd, however, was a member of the Church of England, which became the Episcopal Church in America. Because he was not Puritan, Budd lived in some tension with his neighbors. At one point he was fined by the New Haven magistrates for hiding and protecting Quakers, a Christian group that the Puritans opposed and were trying to keep out of New Haven.
Town Founding No. 2: SOUTHOLD, LONG ISLAND
In September 1640, John Budd left New Haven with his and some other New Haven families on a ship bound for the northeastern edge of Long Island to establish a settlement there, which they named Southold. Once again, he was on Anglican adherent amid Puritans set on establishing a new community structured around their specific religious and moral beliefs. Most of the other Southold founders had originally sailed under the leadership of the Puritan cleric Christopher Youngs first from England to Salem, Massachusetts, in 1637 and from Salem to New Haven. In New Haven, Puritan leaders intent on establishing new religious communities in New England persuaded Rev. Youngs to sail across Long Island Sound with his followers to settle land on the island's North Fork that they had acquired from the island's Corchaug Indians.
John Budd, who was beyond doubt the wealthiest man in the new settlement, quickly established himself as one of the leaders of the new community. Because Southold was included in the United Colonies of New England, its residents were expected to select Deputies to attend the colonies' General Court in Hartford, Connecticut. Budd was the first deputy appointed to the court by the people of Southold. Budd was also the town's first authorized officer to train the local home guard, a responsibility which earned him the title of Lieutenant. Budd was apparently so highly respected and successful in this responsibility that, when he made a trip overseas in 1654, colonial records in New Haven recorded that "By reason of Budd's absence Southold is left destitute of a fitt man to exercise the military company there since Lt. Budd went to England."
In 1649, Budd built his family a four-room home east of town near a pond which became known as Budd's Pond. In 1658, he deeded the house to his daughter and son-in-law, Anna and Benjamin Horton, as a wedding gift. They moved the house 10 miles away to the village of Cutchogue. (The structure, now known as "The Old House," still stands there. It is the oldest European-style dwelling in New York State and is listed on the Register of National Historic Sites. James Van Alst, the architect in charge of its restoration, described it as "undoubtedly the finest example of English domestic origin to be found in this country.")
Despite his civic leadership, Budd's tenure in Southold apparently was one of controversy as well. He was a major landholder in Southold. As such, he was legally accountable to the local general court (composed solely of church members) who were required to review and approve or deny any settler's request to sell his home or land. Budd clearly possessed a strong independent spirit, and in 1657 he sold some of his land without asking "permission." As a result, he was sued by three other Southold settlers; the final disposition of this case is not clear.
Budd clearly grew restless during his tenure at Southold. As in New Haven, Southold's general court governed the town in accord with strict Puritan standards, and Budd was still an Episcopalian. He apparently explored the predominantly Episopalian settlements in Virginia, but decided against settling there. Budd's true desire seems to have been to, in essence, establish his own colony, where he would be answerable to no one, and he was willing to use his wealth to create this personnal domain. In 1661, he decided to leave Long Island and move to an area that was at the time on the very southwestern edge of the Connecticut Colony.
Town Founding No. 3: RYE, WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NEW YORK
In January 1660, three residents of Greenwich, Connecticut — Peter Disbrow, John Coe, and Thomas Stedwell — negotiated and purchased from the native Mohegan Indians a tract of land southwest of Greenwhich known as Peningo Neck. The land stretched on the west from a stream known as Blind Brook east to Long Island Sound. The sale apparently did not include an island in the Sound and just off the shore, so in June 1660, the three men purchased this land (Manussing Island) as well. In May 1661, they purchased additional land on the north edge of Peningo Neck.
Disbrow and the others in his party apparently were more interested in securing title to land than in settling it immediately. This created an opportunity for someone else to take the lead in establishing a new community, and as a successful and wealthy businessman, John Budd was quick to take advantage of the opportunity. On November 8, 1661, Budd concluded his separate negotiation with a Mohegan chief to buy a large (4,800-acre) piece of land immediately across Blind Brook from the Disbrow company's landholdings. This land became known as Budd's Neck. On November 12, 1661, Budd added to his landholdings by purchasing from the Indians some islands that were in the immediate vicinity. In June 1662, Budd then acted with Disbrow, Coe, and Stedwell jointly to purchase yet more land directly north of Budd's Neck.
One of the first buildings constructed in this new community was Budd's Mill, at the mouth of Blind Brook. He operated the grist mill, which proved to be very successful with the new inhabitants of Peningo Neck.
Disbrow selected the name of Hastings for his new holdings. He apparently also considered Budd's lands to be part of the new Hastings town, whose settlement he intended to oversee. Budd obviously had other ideas. He was determined that his personal landholdings would be a separately governed colony, and by the fall of 1664, he had assigned to his lands the name of Rye, probably because of his family's close connections with the town of Rye back in his native England. Moreover, Disbrow had planned Hastings with the idea that each settler would be given equal property. Budd took a more business-like approach and (as in Southold) preferred to sell off portions of his land without first obtaining the permission of the town. Disbrow regarded this behavior as a threat to the future of "his" colony. For the next several years, Budd and Disbrow battled in court over whose approach was to predominate. In the course of that legal action, it was agreed that the name Rye would be assigned to the entire Peningo Neck settlement area. The more substantial issues, however, were still unresolved in 1669, when John Budd turned over his landholdings in both Southold and Rye to his son, John Budd, Jr., and retired from public life.
Despite his contentiousness with Disbrow and resulting legal conflicts, Budd quickly established himself as a political leader across the entire Hastings/Rye area (again, much as he had in Southold). Biographer Lily Wright Budd describes his responsibilities as follows:
... John Budd was elected the first representative when Hastings [formally] submitted to the jurisdiction of Connecticut on 26 January 1662 and he was elected as Hastings' first Deputy to the General Court in Hartford on 26 March 1663.... At the session of the General Court in Hartford on the 8th of October 1663, "Lnt John Bud" makes his appearance, and "is appoynted Commisioner for the Town of Hastings, and is invested with Magistraticall power within the limits of that Town."
As magistrate Budd was "commissioned to grant warrants" and "to marry persons," and he had clear authority to arrest "such as are ouertaken with drinke, swearing, Sabboath breaking, slighting of the ordinances, lying, vagrant persons, or any other that shall offend in any of these."
As noted above, John Budd retired from public life 1669. He died in Rye in 1670 and is presumed to have been buried in a private family plot a short distance north of Budd's Mill.

Notes:

John Budd and Joseph Budd came to this country about the year 1632. On the records of London, is Joseph Budd's name, aged 15, sailed for New England. They arrived at New Haven, and John Budd's name occurs on the records of New Haven in 1639 as one of the first planters of that place, (New Haven Col. Rec. vol. 1-7-425) He subsequently removed to Southold Long Island, from whence he removed to Rye, Westchester County, New York,in 1661, In 1663 John Budd was deputy from Rye, to the General Court of Connecticut. He was the first proprietor of Apawquamus, or Budd's Neck, purchased of the native Sachem Shamarocke and other Indians. This original conveyance is on the records of Westchester County, dated Nov. 8, 1661, and was so large a grant of land, that the other proprietors of Rye were jealous, and they petitioned the General Court assembled at Hartford, (Now Conn.) not to confirm; but John Budd's influence was such that he retained his purchase. He married Kathlene Brown, and left two sons, John Budd and Joseph Budd. His will dated 13th October, 1669, bequeaths to his son John, all his portion of the mills on Blind Brook, and to Joseph all of Budd's Neck.

From the Edward Hart Genealogy: "Lieut John Budd in 1660 took his family to Hastings (Rye) Connecticut, now New York where he was the largest land owner in Westchester County." Thus, the confusion about Rye, Conn and Rye, New York, is answered. They were the same place.

JOHN BUDD, Southold. "I John Budd of the Town of Southold, being at present weak in body." "My mind and will is, and I doe hereby bequeath to my wife Mary Budd, two cows, a bed, and all household goods, and the negro woman called Catharine and her child." And she is to remain in my new dwelling house, and my eldest son John shall maintain her with victualls during her widowhood. And anything more for her comfort shall be at the discretion of my executors. I also leave her one piece of gold, value 21 shillings." He leaves to his eldest son John, all his accommodations of land and meadow, and commonage lying between the Fresh meadow and Plum Gut, as will appear by Record, with all Housing and farming implements. Also 4 oxen, 3 cows, 6 horses. "If he marries without the consent of my executors, then he is to have only two-thirds of what is here left to him. And he is to make no sale or Trucker of any part of his estate without the consent of my executors until he come to the age of twenty-five years." He leaves to his son Joseph, "all my right and interest in a neck of land in Westchester. which lieth between Blind Brook and Mamaroneck River, and an island of meadow belonging thereto (except 100 acres of upland and 4 acres of meadow), and all my housing and improvements on said land." He leaves to his daughter Mary, wife of Christopher Youngs, one half of his right of land and meadow at Accobauk. To daughter Hannah wife of Jonathan Hart, 100 acres of land, and 4 acres of meadow in the neck called Mensarninck lying between Joseph Budds and Langleys. To daughter Ann, one half of his right of land and meadow at Accobauk, and Å“15; to daughter Sarah Å“30, when she arrives at the age of eighteen; makes his "respected friends and neighbors," John Tuttle, Sr., and Isaac Arnold his executors, and leaves to each of them "50 shillings to buy what they shall best like to remember me by."

Thomas Lyon (9) Purdy says that DeLancy married a Van Cortlandt daughter; her dowry was large tracts of land in Cortlandt Manor. Near or during the Revolution, DeLancy (active Loyalist leader) decided to sell off a lot of his land in case he lost it. Two Purdys who wanted to be millers, of Rye, bought it (Daniel 3 and Hachaliah his brother). Daniel gave his part to his grandsons because his sons were Tory. Joseph L. picked a spot where he could build a small dam and a mill. This family has pictures of the dam and mill, before the building of the NYC water supply Titicus Reservoir and Muscoot (Croton) Reservoir dams c1893. The houses in the valley that were going to be flooded were moved to the present site of the hamlet of Purdys. The Joseph L. Purdy house was not moved. Daniel 3 of course lived and gave the land prior to the Revolution. Joseph L. Purdy erected the frame of his house the day of the battle of Bunker Hill. There were strong feelings about Tory vs. Whig so some of these stories have been given a bit of a slant over the years.

Notes:

He became one of the most prominent citizens of the town of Rye, NY In 1720 he made his first appearance in public office when he was appointed Justice of the Peace. This position he held until his death. From 1723 to 1739 he served as town supervisor. His duties were so faithfully discharged that he was reelected from 1744 to 1746, and chosen again in 1749. He also acted as the last town trustee or overseer in 1729, and as a farmer of the excise in 1743 and in 1744. He served as one of the Judges of the Court of Pleas of the County of Westchester from 1734 to 1737, and again from 1740 to 1752. He also presided at the court of the Jan. 22nd, of the latter year. The Rev. James Wetmore, minister of the Protestant Episcopal Church of Rye, was seeking a new schoolmaster in 1732. At the request of sundry inhabitants that Samuel Purdy Esq. might be appointed, he wrote the following recommendation to the secretary to the "Venerable Society for the Propagation of the Gospel" "He is a gentleman very well respected in the town, a constant communicant of the church, a man of good abilities and sober exemplary life and conversation; he is the foremost Justice of the Peace in the parish, and one of the Quorum as well as chaplain of the militia, but these being places that require, rather that make a fortune, he has private reasons to make him accept a mission from the Honorable Society , and the greater his interest of the peoples esteems and affections, by the honorable character he sustains, he will be under greater advantage to promote religion and the interest of the church for which he has always had a good affection. This gentleman is well qualified to teach and instruct children in the principles of religion , and such learning as is fit for the country, and I doubt not he will be very faithful and industrious, if the Honorable Society be pleased to employ him. Needless to add, Justice Purdy was employed and continued a schoolmaster until his death. When he died in 1753 the Rev. James Wetmore gives an excellent account of the funeral. "The church hath suffered a loss by death of Mr. Purdy, who was a friend of religion, and did many kind offices to the poor,as far as he was able. His corpse was attended to the church on Ash Wednesday by a great concourse of people of all persuasions, to whom the pastor preached a sermon adapted to that day, and to the melancholy occasion.
The Rev. Mr. Wetmore in 1732 re-quested the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts to appoint him schoolmaster at Rye, recommending him as a gentleman, very well respected in the town, a constant communicant-cant in the church a man of good abilities and sober, exemplary life and conversation. He is the foremost Justice of the peace in the parish and one of the quorum, as well as chaplain (captain?) of the militia. Mr. Purdy was chosen to various other offices of trust as supervisor, town clerk, overseer and farmer of the excise. In 1753 Mr. Wetmore reports that the church has suffered a loss by the death of Mr. Purdy, the Society's school-master, who was a friend to religion and did many kind offices to the poor, as far as he was able. His corpse was attended to the church on Ash Wednesday by a great concourse of people of all persuasions.
Shortly before his death he had sold to his two sons, Samuel and Caleb, for one hundred and seventy pounds, "my home lot where I dwell in Rye, comprising five acres." This included the present rectory grounds of Christ Church.
