Born: About 1600, England

Immigration:   May 1637, on ship named the "Hector", sailed out of London, bound for Boston (with what was known as the Davenport/Eaton party, many of which founded New Haven, Conn). According to the records of John Winthrop of Massachusetts Bay, the ship arrived in Boston (from London England) on June 26, 1637. With wife, Katherine Brown, and three children, who may have ranged in ages from 3 to 20.
 

See a passenger list of the Hector.
 
Previous reports that he migrated with Barnabas Horton on the Sparrow (see Edward Hart & Allied Families, Kennedy, 1939) appear to be in error. As far as I can tell, there is not an "accepted" passenger list of the Sparrow... it may be a "phantom" record.
 
Multiple Pioneer:  John Budd was a founding father of New Haven, Conn; Southold, Long Island; and, Rye, New York (then Conn).

Including the John Budd House in Cutchogue, Long Island
 

         "JOHN BUDD was in New Haven, 1639, as a Freeman. The first we know of him on Long
         Island is in October, 1640. "Mr. Jones hath the lott granted unto him which was formerly
         granted unto John Budd of Yeancock (Southold)." In 1648 "it is ordered that John Budd
         have granted him 4 acres off new ground added to his other ground to make an 8 acre lot."
         In 1650 he is mentioned at Southampton as owner of a water mill and running the same, and
         is called Lt. His name occurs there no more after 1651. He moved to Westchester County,
         1660, on account of some difficulty with his neighbors. The Budd house is still standing. In
         1679 Lt. Budd sold it to John Hallock and it now belongs to Jonathan W. Huntting.
         John Budd figures in Indian deeds in Rye, May 10, 1673, and granted, 1681-2, a meadow
         in Rye to Jon. Horton.
 
         [Note: I have seen in another reference that the "trouble with neighbors" may have been due
         to him following Quaker beliefs. nmt]
