 With members of his immediate family and other relatives and associates , Arnold gathered his group together with their baggage and supplies in the spring of 1635 and made the trip from Ilchester to Dartmouth on the coast of Devon . While the exact route of the travelers was not recorded , a probable path was through Yeovil , Crewkerne and Axminster to Exeter . From there the party likely turned south along the Devonshire coast traveling through Teignmouth and Torquay to the port city of Dartmouth .
