    This is the story of Philip and Sarah Sherman. They were both born in England and immigrated to Massachusetts Bay Colony in the early 1630s. Theirs is a fascinating story of a couple who stood up for their religious beliefs, banned from Massachusetts Bay Colony, and became founders of Rhode Island.
