Moses Simonson
Moses Simonson (c. 1605 c. 1690), also known as Moyses Simonson or Symonson or Moses Simmons, was one of the earliest settlers of New England as one of the passengers of 1621 Fortune voyage and would have been present at the time of the Pilgrims First Thanksgiving in 1621. According to several sources, Moses Simonson, may have had Jewish ancestry. Moses Simonson was born around 1605 in Holland, and according to Edward Winslow in ''Hypocrasie Unmasked'', one of Simonson's parents was a member of the Pilgrims' Separatist church in Leiden, and according to DNA testing, Winslow may have had family with the Simmons name as well. Several sources have presumed that Simons was also of at least partial Jewish (or Converso) ancestry based partially upon his name and Dutch origin. In 1621 Simonson arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts on the ''Fortune'' in 1621 as an unmarried man and received two acres in the 1623 land division as “Moyses Simonson” which he shared with Philipe de la Noye. ...

17th-century Sephardi Jews
The 17th century lasted from January 1, 1601 ( MDCI), to December 31, 1700 ( MDCC). It falls into the early modern period of Europe and in that continent (whose impact on the world was increasing) was characterized by the Baroque cultural movement, the latter part of the Spanish Golden Age, the Dutch Golden Age, the French ''Grand Siècle'' dominated by Louis XIV, the Scientific Revolution, the world's first public company and megacorporation known as the Dutch East India Company, and according to some historians, the General Crisis. From the mid-17th century, European politics were increasingly dominated by the Kingdom of France of Louis XIV, where royal power was solidified domestically in the civil war of the Fronde. The semi-feudal territorial French nobility was weakened and subjugated to the power of an absolute monarchy through the reinvention of the Palace of Versailles from a hunting lodge to a gilded prison, in which a greatly expanded royal court could be more easil ...

Immigrants To Plymouth Colony
Immigration is the international movement of people to a destination country of which they are not natives or where they do not possess citizenship in order to settle as permanent residents or naturalized citizens. Commuters, tourists, and other short-term stays in a destination country do not fall under the definition of immigration or migration; seasonal labour immigration is sometimes included, however. As for economic effects, research suggests that migration is beneficial both to the receiving and sending countries. Research, with few exceptions, finds that immigration on average has positive economic effects on the native population, but is mixed as to whether low-skilled immigration adversely affects low-skilled natives. Studies show that the elimination of barriers to migration would have profound effects on world GDP, with estimates of gains ranging between 67 and 147 percent for the scenarios in which 37 to 53 percent of the developing countries' workers migrate t ...

The voyage The 1621 voyage of the was the second English ship sent out to Plymouth Colony by the Merchant Adventurers investment group, which had also financed the 1620 voyage of the Pilgrim ship ''Mayflower''. The ''Fortune'' was 1/3 the size of the ''Mayflower'', displacing 55 tons. The Master was Thomas Barton. She departed London in the fall of 1621 and arrived off Cape Cod on November 9, 1621, and arrived in Plymouth Bay by the end of the month. The ship only stayed at Plymouth about three weeks loading cargo, and departed for England on December 13, 1621.

''Fortune'' finally arrived back in the Thames on February 17, 1622.

Fortune (Plymouth Colony Ship)
:''Also see sister article: Passengers of 1621 Fortune voyage'' In the fall of 1621 the ''Fortune'' was the second English ship destined for Plymouth Colony in the New World, one year after the voyage of the Pilgrim ship ''Mayflower''. Financed as the ''Mayflower'' was by Thomas Weston and others of the London-based Merchant Adventurers, ''Fortune'' was to transport thirty-five ''settlers'' to the colony on a ship that was much smaller than ''Mayflower''. The ''Fortune'' required two months to prepare for the voyage and once underway, reached Cape Cod on 9 November 1621 and the colony itself in late November. The ship was unexpected by those in Plymouth colony and although it brought useful settlers, many of whom were young men, it brought no supplies, further straining the limited food resources of the colony. The ship only stayed in the colony about three weeks, returning to England in December loaded with valuable furs and other goods. But when nearing England, instead of he ...
