As a youngster, Wilbur and his two surviving brothers, Joseph and Shadrach, sailed to New England with their parents, settling in Boston in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, where his father was made a freeman in March 1633. The Wilbur's stay in Boston lasted only a few years, because Wilbur's father became a supporter of the dissident ministers Anne Hutchinson and John Wheelwright, and was banished from the Massachusetts colony in 1638, joining many others in establishing the settlement of Portsmouth on Aquidneck Island in the Narragansett Bay, later a part of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.[2]
