Notes
The Pilgrims obtained a land patent from the London Virginia Company in June 1619. This land patent allowed them to settle at the mouth of the Hudson River (not Cape Cod Bay)
The unchartered Plymouth Colony was founded by the Pilgrims in 1620.
Sandwich, the first town to be established on Cape Cod, was founded in 1637 by the persuasive and energetic Edmund Freeman.
Prior to 1637, Sandwich was embraced in the unsettled portions of the vast tract granted to William Bradford.
Approximately sixty families settled in Sandwich, and by 1639 they were building a Town House.
Barnstable County was formed as part of the Plymouth Colony on 2 June 1685, including the towns of Falmouth and Sandwich on Cape Cod.
The request for a formal charter was denied in 1691 and the unchartered colony of Plymouth was merged into the Province of Massachusetts Bay. Wilbur-403 12:51, 19 March 2017 (EDT)

This William Newland was born around 1580. William Newland married in 1648, implying a birth year of, say 1610. Would appear to be about 30 years apart in age.
This William Newland arrived with a son William and resided in Sandwich. Newland-32 is also known - with certainty - to have resided and married in Sandwich.
Errata: Should be Newland-32
