GORTON: Samuel Gorton [1592/3-1677] fled Plymouth Colony for what became Warwick, Rhode Island due to his religious convictions. Gorton's followers became known as Gortonites and
believed Jesus Christ was divine, but did not believe in the Trinity. [direct]
PRENCE: Thomas Prnce [c1600-1672/3] arrived in Plymouth in 1621. He quickly married into the Brester family and was elected governor of the colony three times. Only William Bradford and Edward Winslow served as governor during Prence's lifetime. They were Mayflower passengers. Prence's terms were marred by his hatred for Quakers, including Arthur Howland, Jr., married the governor's daughter Elizabeth. [direct]
