  REASONS FOR COMING TO THE NEW WORLDDuring the early 17th century England was plagued with weakandunfavorableeconomic condit i o ns. Wages were low, unemployment high,andcommoditiesscarce. The laws of primogeniture, m a r kedly influencinglifein England,provided that the eldest child in a family was to receiv e ,under normalcircumstances, the entire estate of his father, themajorityof his parents p o ssessions, and often exclusively inherit thesocialrank of hisfather. Many a younger so n , f inding himself withlittlematerialproperty and upon viewing the desperate economic situ a tion ofthecountry, looked anxiously for a means to better his economicandsocialpositio n . Up on hearing the often exaggerated stories of anewunsettledland "of milk and honey", wh e re l and was up for the takinganda fortunecould be made, and upon discovering that the l a w allo ttedtoeverysettler fifty acres of land for each member of his familyhebrought to t he ne w land, many a man of humble means sacrificed allhehad for a chanceto seek his fortu n e an d begin a new life in America.The bleak economic conditions in England, however, were not theonlycauseof immigrati o n t o America during the 17th century. In 1642civilwarbroke out in England - dividing th e c oun try between KingCharles Iandhis supporters (known as Royalists or Cavaliers) and Par liamen t,withOliver Cromwell as its leader. The English Puritans(knownas"Roundheads"), be i n g a dominant faction of the parliament ,wereapowerful force against the Crown. As Cromw e l l gained moreandmorecontrol of the government, the Royalists came under much persecutio n.Charles I was beheaded in 1649 and Cromwell's armymarchedthroughoutEngland, Scotland , I r eland and Wales harassingandpersecuting theRoyalists. The Nanneys of Merionethshire be i ngsupporters of the Crown,were not excluded from the widespreadpersecutionand oppressi o n b yCromwell's forces and the great NanneyEstate wasdestroyed by Cromwell'sArmy in the 16 5 0' s (the estate waslater rebuiltby the family). Many ofthe Cavaliers sought refuge in Ame ric a whereRoyalist persecution didnot exist on the scale it did inEngland. Variousof the s e C avaliersbecame part of what was to be calledthe "TideWaterAristocracy" whichruled Virg i ni a during the second halfof the 17thcentury.Still others, came to Virginia, seeking the opportunity to worshipastheydesired. Through o u t the 17th century members ofvariousreligiousmovements, including such sects as the Puri t a ns, aswellasPresbyterians, Baptists, Huguenots and Quakers arrived inthecolonyseeki n g c onditions where they might find freedom ofworship.ButVirginia, in contrast to many oth e r A merican colonies - whohadbecomehavens for pilgrims seeking religious liberty; seem s t o havebeen,rather, a colony - a majority of whose inhabitants had come asaresultof th e ec onom ic and political conditions in Europe. They weremenandwomen seeking a better lif e fo r the m and theirs in this new land.
