Cambridge Agreement

Pledge made in Cambridge, England, in 1629 by Puritan stockholders of the Massachusetts Bay Co. to emigrate to New England if the colony's government could be transferred there. The company agreed and shifted control of the corporation to the signers of the agreement. John Winthrop was elected governor, and he set sail in 1630 with a large group of Puritan followers to settle in the Boston area (see Massachusetts Bay Colony).
