Detailed explanation-1: -Thomas Hooker: Beholding the Majesty of God Thomas Hooker, a Puritan minister, left the Massachusetts Bay Colony and founded Hartford, Connecticut.
Detailed explanation-2: -But the fact remains that Hartford in 1636 was founded by a minister who thought the Bay’s practice of Puritanism was harsher than it ought to be. And he thought so with enough intensity that he and his congregation pulled up stakes and headed west for the promise of a kinder, gentler, and better, life.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hooker’s Company. Hooker and his supporters became restive under the influence of John Cotton, and in 1636 Hooker led a group to Connecticut to settle Hartford, where he served as pastor until his death.
Detailed explanation-4: -In direct violation of Puritan doctrine and church structure, she believed heaven was open to those who worshipped God through a personal connection, without the need of any church intervention. These and other beliefs caused Hutchinson and her family to be banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
