The Great Migration describes the early wave of European immigrants to New England in the years roughly between 1620-1640.
In the largest wave, there were upwards of 20,000 English migrating to New England between 1630 and 1640. As a rough estimate
about fifteen percent of immigrants to New England arrived in the fourteen years from 1620-1633, with the remaining eighty-five
percent coming over half as many years, from 1634 to 1640.
