Best Answer

No, Roger Williams came to the Massachusetts Bay Colony with the hope of being a missionary and preach to the Indians (as the native peoples were then called). But he first was a pastor at a church in Salem, and then another in Plymouth. He quickly became dissatisfied with the Puritan lifestyle and theology, and ultimately became a controversial figure, leading to his departure for Rhode Island.
