I have no connection to any of these families. This was taken from Vol. 14, No. 1 of "The Second Boat" in an article entitled "Passengers on the Ship 'Increase' - 1635":

In April of 1635, the ship 'Increase' departed London, England, enroute to Boston in the Massachusetts Colony, where it arrived the end of July of that year under command of Robert Lea, Master. Passengers on this voyage of the increase had differing destinations. Some were bound for Newtown (Cambridge) in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and others intended to settle in Connecticut. Following, from the ship's manifest, is a partial list of passengers and, where known, their destination.

George Bacon, age 43, to Hingham, MA
