In 1553-8 under Mary Tudor a list was made of all

celibacy. At ecclesisatical visitation of Charlton

Frnaces bp 3 Feb 1598/9
They were yeomen. Cultivated leasehold farms and raised sheep and cattle and lived in simple stone, thatched cottages.
A more plausible explanation for the migration eliminates the religious factor entirely.
One of the great promotors of emigration in SW England was Rev. John White, rector of Holy Trinity Church, Dorchester, Co. Dorset, who represented the moderate conforming clergy in the great religious controversies which preceded the Civil War in England. HIs influence extended all over that region and he advocated as early as 1622 the colonization of New England for spiritual and material reasons, believing that it could be a haven, as well for NOn-conformers as for loyal Churchmen. He organized the "Dorchester Adventures" in 1623, a commerical company which owas to opersate at Cape Ann, and was actaive in promotion of this and like enterprises.
Including that of the Massachusetts Bay Company itself.
Among his parishioners was Aquila Purchase, master of Trinity School, Dorchester, England, 1625-33, whose brohter Thomas Purchase went to New England as early as 1626 and settled in what is now Brunswick, Me. Aquila Purchase was employed as a teacher in the vicinity of Kingweston 1612-14. He met and married there, Jan 1613-4, Anne Squire, sister of Edith Squire, and thus became brother in law of Henry Adams.
Aquila Purchase with wife and children emigrated Mar 1632/3 to Dorchester, MA. He died during the voyage or soon after. On 5 Aug 1633

General Notes (Husband)
Marriage found in Sturbridge town records.
Notes (Marriage)
I also have Charlemont, Franklin, MA as the place for this marriage.
General Notes for Child Esther McKINSTRY
Birth from Sturbridge Town Records. - has 28 Nov 1815. Marriage is also from Sturbridge town records. Either there is a mistake or this is not the Esther McKinstry who married Aretas Hooker.
McKinstry genealogical article has six children, same six children Russ McKinstry has listed; no birth date for Esther. Russ McKinstry has her born 28 Nov 1815. Which is three months after her parents married - still, not impossible. Nevertheless, she cannot have been born in 1825 and married in 1834. It must be a transcription error.
General Notes for Child Elijah McKINSTRY
Never married.
General Notes for Child Nathan McKINSTRY
Genealogy of the McKinstry Family says tehre were five children; I have six listed here.
General Notes for Child John Adison McKINSTRY
Unmarried.
