The Rhode Island Colony was founded by those who wanted to escape the lack of religious tolerance found in the other New England colonies. Its founder Roger Williams was a former colonist and religious exile from the Massachusetts Colony, where religious tolerance did not exist among the Puritans. The Rhode Island Colony was home to the first Jewish synagogue and the first Baptist church in the New World.
Plymouth Colony was founded by a group of English Puritans who later came to be known as the Pilgrims. The core group (roughly 40% of the adults and 56% of the family groupings) were part of a congregation led by William Bradford.
