John Winthrop (1587–1649)
-
Acting on a daring plan put together by English Puritans in 1629, Winthrop led approximately 800 settlers to the New World to build a godly civilization in the wilderness. He settled his Puritan charges at Boston in 1630 (see 1630: Boston Founded) and served as the governor of the new Massachusetts Bay Colony until his death.
