English colonists from Salem were the first settlers in Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts.

American colonists continued to use British monetary units, namely the pound, shilling and pence for which £1 (or li) equalled 20s and 1s equalled 12d. In 1792 the dollar was established as the basic unit of currency. Encyclopedia of British and Early American Coins

Any man entering an American colony was not free and his movements were carefully observed to see if they followed the Puritanical ideal. After this probationary period, he became a "freeman."
