John Haynes and Thomas Hooker are commonly considered the founders of which original colony that was sometimes referred to as "The River Colony"?

The Connecticut River colony, or just River Colony, had a tumultuous history. It was first organized in 1636 as a settlement for a Puritan congregation. After struggling with the Dutch, the Brits gained control of it a year later, and also during that time the colonists were embroiled in a bloody conflict with the Pequot Indians.
