Introduction to The Stanfield Chronicles
1620, the year the Separatists arrived in America, is sometimes considered to be the year the process of English settlements began in Northern Virginia, subsequently named New England. In fact, the New England coast had been the subject of numerous surveys, expeditions and attempted settlements during the previous twenty years.
The Separatists are considered, in addition, to have travelled to an unknown country driven solely by their desire for religious freedom. In fact, many others explored and identified commercial opportunities in New England. The Separatists’ desire was fed and supported by those who wanted settlements in New England for commercial gain and to protect New England from encroachment by the French in the North and the Virginia Company in the South.
The Stanfield Chronicles is the story of the opening up of New England, prior to and after the arrival of the Separatists, seen through the eyes of a young man called Isaac Stanfield.
