John Cotton Jr was the second son of one of the famous clergymen of New England's founding generation. At the age of 22, already pastor of the church in Wethersfield, he lost his ministry as a result of a sexual scandal. Disgraced and jobless, Cotton moved his family to distant Martha's Vineyard to start anew as a missionary to the Indians.
