Also, in 1648 there was a group from Bermuda called 'The Company of Adventurers for the Plantation of the Islands of Eleutheria." This group was led by William Sayle. They sailed to the Bahamas to found a colony.
English settlement began on the islands during the English Civil War era. Differences in religions in England had resulted to fighting. In fact, there were two ships full of faithful, religious protesters that left Bermuda to look at and investigate the Bahamas to decide if these certain islands would make a good place to live so they could worship who they wanted to.
