The Puritans didn't suffer like the people of Jamestown when they first settle.
they were peaceful and they had better water and food.
A puritan is a religious person who lives there life by a strict set of rules - often determined by religion. They are often more religious than others of the same faith and follow their religious book to the word. This does not mean most preachers are Puritans though some are.
Puritans did not want to emulate the Church of England, which they considered a puppet of the king rather than an independent body that served the Lord.
There are no different names for God in Freemasonry other than God. It is not a cult.
The basic reason for the Puritan (really should be the sub-sect Separatist) Colony [Massachusetts Bay Colony] as to those settling in the Boston area was religious freedom. Now 'Freedom' is to the beholder at that time.You wouldn't have been free to worship any other way than then the Puritan way.There were differences between the Massachusetts Bay Colony (Plymouth) and those who later settled in the areas north of there.The Bay Colony Puritans were from a sect that held very strict beliefs whereas the later Puritans were considered more 'Liberal' by the standards of those in Plymouth.Both groups though were looking to practice their religious beliefs the way they wanted without any interference from the King and his Lord William Laud. Laud wanted the Puritans to conform to the High Church (English Church) dogma which included prayers the Puritans refused to say.It was also a time of great unemployment in England and very high inflation due to the King's policy of printing money and borrowing at high interest. On the King's behalf he did want colonies established in the New World to off-set Spain's 'colonial lead' [like our missile lead in the Cold War].So basically there were many reasons for the Puritan to leave England in search of better conditions: many more not mentioned here due to space.

they brought women and families with them
Most settlers searched for gold rather than planting crops
There are more than 40 places in the world called Jamestown. Could you please be specific. ______________________ The historic Jamestown, the "first" English settlement in North America, was in Jamestown, Virginia, at 37 degrees 12 minutes north latitude, 76 degrees 46 minutes west longitude.
Jamestown was more than just a settlement for English people wanting a new start in the New World. The purpose of creating Jamestown was to aid England by creating plantations to grow tobacco & cotton. Cotton was needed by England to feed their textile industry & tobacco was now a great new discovery that Europeans wanted to have in a big way. The settlement was there to stake out and expand its territory in Virginia.
In my opinion and the some i have learned, i would assume that the soil was relatively moist. Afterall, Jamestown was run into the ground by the fact that they were too near to a "swamp" because of their river-side settlement. This later-lead to a plague given to them by mosquitoes. To get back on the subject, in the main area of Jamestown, the soil was more than likely moist or even very moist due to the location.
they sold icecream
JamestownIn 1607 Jamestown became the first English settlement in North America colonists built a fort near the Jamestown river in present day Virgina. Walls, called palisades, surrounded the fort on all three sides.New excavations of the area will help historians learn more than Jamestown. Archeologists have uncovered parts of the fort walls, the east cannon bulwark, a building, and more than 150,000 objects dating from 1607 to 1610.
A Jewish settlement in Italy may take on Italian customs and languages, whereas a settlement in Asia Minor may take on Asian customs and languages. Food, homes, and clothing would all be different to reflect the climate and new culture they are living in.
More than 1,000 Puritans came to Massachusetts, America in 1630.
