Fear Allerton (Brewster) - Pilgrims vs Puritans

You'd be surprised how many people don't know that.

A book of particular interest on the Plymouth Colony is Saints and Strangers, by George F. Willison: http://www.amazon.com/Saints-Strangers-Pilgrim-Fathers-Families/dp/...

I changed the text contributed by a member in the profile overview to this:

She was named Fear because at the time of her birth, Separatists were holding secret meetings and were under constant threat of arrest.

Feel free to "edit" the overview and expand on the definition within the profile.

They also referred to themselves as "Dissenters".

Yes, they were Dissenting with the Church of England. It's more a term used in England.
