-Bernard Bailyn (1955) provides a detailed portrait of Thomas Breedon. Bailyn states that Breedon enters the records of New England in 1648 as a supercargo on the ''Thomas Bonadventure'' of London, bound from Malaga to Boston. By 1652, according to Bailyn, he had settled in Boston, had bought property, and "had started his tempestuous career as a New England merchant". Bailyn contrasts Breedon's interests with those of existing New England merchants. Breedon's interests were entirely commercial, with little sympathy for Puritanism.  Bailyn states that in 1658 Breedon became the Boston agent, supplier and banker for Colonel Thomas Temple, who dominated trade with Nova Scotia.<ref>Bernard Bailyn, The New England Merchants In The Seventeenth Century (Cambridge, MA, 1955), pp.93-94/ref>
