Cromwell in Connecticut

so modern day Connecticut was founded as 3 different colonies one of which was named Saybrook, named for William Fiennes, 1st Viscount Saye and Sele and Robert Greville, 2nd Baron Brooke, both major Puritan Lords, the colony was a supporter of Cromwell and the roundheads, the colony set aside land for prominent Parlamentarians like John Pym, John Hampden, Arthur Haselrig, there was also a rumor that Oliver Cromwell himself would head to the colony, so what if these major names had left and went to Saybrook?

I seem to recall that famous Civil War film with Alec Guinness starting out with Cromwell saying he's going to go to America (of course, he gets talked out of it). I don't know how much truth there is to that claim, though.

These aren't the non-comformists you're looking for.

It seems he came into some money in 1638, so rather then going to America he stayed in England and the rest is history, soooooo
