Et af Scroobygruppens medlemmer, William Bradford havde ført en journal over de begivenheder, der hændte for menigheden; den blev senere udgivet med titlen ''[[Of Plymouth Plantation]]''. Om denne periode skrev han:
<blockquote>
But after these things they could not long continue in any peaceable condition, but were hunted & persecuted on every side, so as their former afflictions were but as flea-bitings in comparison of these which now came upon them. For some were taken & clapt up in prison, others had their houses besett & watcht night and day, & hardly escaped their hands; and ye most were faine to flie & leave their howses & habitations, and the means of their livelehood.<ref name="bradford1" />
