I've also wondered this for many years.  My understanding is that early on it was Puritans but by 1800 it was a mixture of Episcopalians and Congregationalists (some of them being Unitarians)  The shift to Congregationalism I can understand, but I've never been able to find exactly how so many became Episcopalians.

Could wealth be a factor?
