John's father died at the age of 43, in June of 1736, and his mother Sarah, remarried to John Pratt, in September of 1737.
John most probably traveled by ship on this journey, possibly working on the ship to pay his way, as it is doubtful that he had any money at the age of 16.
John later moved to New York State, probably between June 1775 when his daughter Jane was married in Warwick, Rhode Island and before 1777 when his son Asa became a militia volunteer in the Revolutionary War, from New Canaan in 1777.

 George Ripley
George Ripley (1802-1880), minister of the Purchase Street Church in Boston, 1826-41, was a central figure in the Transcendentalist movement of the 1830s and 40s, a founder in 1841 of the Brook Farm commune, and later one of America's most prominent literary reviewers and critics.
As Ripley's description indicates, the underlying assumption of the experiment, and of Fourierist philosophy, was that work necessary to support a community could be distributed in such a way as to match people's tasks with their individual desires and ability to do them.
Ripley wrote extensively for the Christian Examiner during his Purchase Street Church ministry, and many of his essays there, especially "Schleiermacher as a Theologian," Christian Examiner 20 (1836); and "Martineau's Rationale of Religious Inquiry," Christian Examiner 21 (1836); were influential in the emergence of the Transcendentalist movement.

 `Coriolanus' on Stage in England and America, 1609-1994 by Brian Parker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
John Ripley's study of Coriolanus is a solidly documented, well-organized, clearly written, and valuably original addition to Shakespearean scholarship.
Ripley is well aware of these problems and strikes a reasonable balance between historical and interpretative imperatives, though I could spare some of the detail about eighteenth century adaptations by writers inferior to Shakespeare to make room for some of the brilliant modern productions not covered by Ripley's rubric.
Sometimes it leads Ripley to deny that a production had political importance when manifestly one was intended: Kemble's `aestheticizing,' for example, distorted Shakespeare's complexity in order to glamourize established authority in a deliberate reaction against the French Revolution.
