!Isaac Stearns probably came to New England in the Winthrop Fleet. On the morning of 8 April 1630, the first five ships set sail from Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, and arrived at Salem on the 12th of June. The other six ships of the Winthrop Fleet sailed in May and arrived in July, bringing altogether about 700 passengers. Not being satisfied with the prospects of Salem, the colonists soon moved on to Charlestown and thence to Watertown where they settled.
