He arrived to the New World in 1625 and settled in New Haven, Connecticut. Nicholas was a teacher & Pastor of First Church of Christ. [Rev. Nicholas Street was the son of Nicholas Street (1575 - 1617). He was baptized on Jan 29, 1603 in Bridgewater, Somerset, England. He was matriculated at the University of Oxford, Nov. 2, 1621, and is then described as eighteen, and as from Somersetshire. He received the degree of B.A. at Oxford, Feb. 21, 1624/5. It appears that he shipped cattle to New England on the Elizabeth bound from Dartmouth, England in April 1637, it is unclear if he was on the boat as it did carry planters (Coldham, p. 186) About 1638 he was settled at Taunton, MA then part of the Plymouth Colony, as colleague with Rev. William Hooke. He followed Rev. Hooke, a colleague of Rev. John Davenport, to New Haven, where he took the latter's place, Sept. 26, 1659. After Mr. Davenport was called to Boston, Sept. 27, 1667, he had sole charge of the First Church till his own death, April 22, 1674. The will of Benjamin Ling, dated Mar. 25, 1673, leaves a portion of his books to "my worthy friend, Mr. Street, teacher of the church in New Haven." His first wife is perhaps Anne Poole but there are inconsistencies in the available records. His second wife was Mary Newman (-1683), the widow of Francis Newman (-1660). Francis Newman held the roles of Secretary, magistrate and Governor of the New Haven Colony. It was at Francis' brother Robert's barn that the 1639 New Haven Covenant was signed but Robert returned to England and lived Stratford, Warwick. Mary Newman married William Leete after Nicholas Street died. The will of Nicholas Street was made April 14, 1674. He bequeathed to his wife the estate she brought him in marriage, the life use of the house once belonging to Mr. Hooke, "the church always declaring their willingness thereunto" to son Samuel, to daughters Susannah Mason, Sarah Heaton, and Abijah Shearman, and to grandchildren Samuel Street and Hannah Andrews. It was witnessed by William Trowbridge and Thomas Tuttle. The inventory, taken May 13, 1674, by Nicholas Auger and Thomas Yale, Sr., was 457 pds, 16 shillings. Nicholas and his first wife had four children. -GardenGreenGirl (#47937273)] [In this biography of the Rev. Nicholas Street, in the first paragraph the writer says that Nicholas Street graduated from Oxford in 1621, but that is when he began studies there. Also, it is said that he went to the New World in 1625 to New Haven. Most researchers believe he went later, between 1630 and 1637, and settled in Taunton Massachusetts. The second paragraph seems more accurate. There is some research that indicates that Nicholas Street received an advanced degree in 1636 from Cambridge. In "The Street Genealogy" it is stated that the Rev. Nicholas Street had four children. Son Samuel, b. 1635, married Anna Miles. Daughter Susannah is listed in Rev. Street's will as Susannah Mason but many believe she was actually Susannah Macy, married to Capt. George Macy. Daughter Sarah married James Heaton and Abiah (Abijah) married Daniel Shearman (Sherman). Each of these four children had several children of their own.
