AHC and WI:- Surviving Newhaven Colony

In 1638, on the tail end of the other New England colonies being established, an extreme Puritan colony called New Haven (capital New Haven) was founded without a charter in order to attempt an even closer church-state relationship than in Massachusetts Bay, which was famed for its religious intolerance and devout Puritan style of life and governance. However, they sheltered two of the judges that condemned Charles I to death, leading his son, Charles II, to merge the New Haven colony with the startlingly democratic Connecticut colony in 1662.

Would keeping them from sheltering those judges be enough for the colony to stay independent? How would this occur? And, if it did stay it's own seperate colony, would it be merged with New York* once/if the English take it, or will it remain a small Rhode Island-esque vestige of the small coastal colonial system? Finally, would this change the social trends that led to the American Revolution, and, if not, would the presence of 14 rather than 13 colonies make that large a difference in an alt-Revolution?

Why would it be merged with New York, even though it's certainly very small. If it does survive, it might be merged with another colony at a later date, although I think the intense Puritanism would mean that if it is merged, then it will have been imposed on the colony. Population-wise, New Haven in 2017 would have more people than any New England state aside from Massachusetts and the reduced Connecticut.

Incidentally, New Haven settlers were linked to Long Island from early on, so if the colony expands, it could acquire most or all of Long Island, although the geographic separation could mean that Long Island develops a bit differently (less intensely Puritan?) and gets divided from New Haven. Plus as an American state, I could definitely see a demand to separate Long Island from the rest of the colony, so it's a good way to get a State of Long Island.

In the long term culturally (ignoring butterflies), they'd definitely be closer to New York than the rest of New England, particularly if they get to keep Long Island.
