My husband's (very spontaneous) answer: Pilgrims

Just as an aside, 5 of the original Pilgrim Fathers came from the town I
was born in (Billericay, Essex here in the UK). Here's an excert from
the town's history section of their website (www.billericay.net)

*****
Although Billericay was a flourishing commercial centre during the reign
of Henry VIII, religious persecution led some inhabitants to embark on
the famous Mayflower voyage of 1620. Five people from Billericay were on
board.

The ship's governor Christopher Martin – a victualler of ships, who is
believed to have lived in what is now known as the Old Chantry in
Billericay High Street. Sadly, he perished along with his wife Marie,
Solomon Prower, and John Langemore shortly after their arrival at Cape
Cod, Massachusetts (a fifth unnamed person, believed to be Peter Browne,
survived the rigours of that first winter).

But this did not deter other Billericay inhabitants from setting sail
for the New World and the town of Billerica, Massachusetts, was
established in 1655 to commemorate the origins of some of the first
settlers. This began a relationship between the two towns which still
exists today.
*****

I can remember some of the first twinning visits from Billerica, back
when I was 9 or 10, and having a family stay with us for a few days and
my Dad driving them around Essex, showing off the sites... unfortunately
we couldn't afford to go over to America back in those days!

[waving madly] Hi Suzie, I used to live just a town or two over from
Billerica, MA. When we moved there I had the hardest time learning how
to pronounce it properly ( Bill Rick Ah) and used to confuse my
neighbors by saying I was running over to "Bill Erica" to go shopping ;-)
