Note

He was a colonial governor of Massachusetts. He became Steward to the
powerful Earl of Lincoln, whose estates he managed. He sailed with John
Winthrop on the Arabella in 1630 as deputy governor of the colony. He
became governor four times, and served as deputy governor most of the
other years until his Death. A Puritan of the stern and harsh type, he
often differed with the tolerant and kind Winthrop. He was a founder of
First Church at Charlestown, Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, USA, and of Newtowne (now
Cambridge, Massachusetts). He was an early promoter and overseer of
Harvard College.
