Notes

Peter was bred at St. John's College, Cambridge, where he obtained his A.M. 1608. He was chosen a fellow. Had a considerable estate from his father, Edward Bulkley. He was a moderate conformist which he succeeded in his native parish, and served at that alter 20 years, through favor of Lord Keeper Williams, then Bishop of Lincoln, his diocesan. He came in the ship "Susan and Ellen" 1635, his age at the custom house called 50, and his wife Grace, 33, appears to have embarked in another ship, and son John, 15, some weeks earlier, besides Benjamin, 11, and Daniel, 9, all three in the same ship with himself, but set down at intervals in the records, both of time and space. He was first at Cambridge, but next year went to Concord, and was installed 6 Apr 1637. [2]
