What they historians fail to reflect on is that very soon after the establishment of the colony, the nobles in England attempted to establish the nobility here in the colonies.

William Fiennese attempted to do that at the Conn river valley and one of my ancestors-Abraham Temple had signed on to go to his uncles new holdings to work. He ended up at Salem Mass (1630s) and immediately “failed” to go.

The Temples were one of the most powerful families in England at that time. All Puritans and two were signers of Charles the 1st death warrant.

“very soon after the establishment of the colony, the nobles in England attempted to establish the nobility here in the colonies.”
One of my Germanic ancestors from Pennsylvania bought about 400 acres of land in northen Virginia in the 1750s from Lord Fairfax (who was born in America and was a life-long friend of Washington).
