To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Breeland were among those contributors: Thomas Brearly who settled in Barbados with his wife and servants in 1680; Martin Brearly settled in New England in 1679; Edward Brearly settled in Jamaica in 1685.
