CARVER, JOHN (x575?-1621)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 437 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAR-CAU
CARVER, JOHN (x575?-1621) , one of the "
Pilgrim
  Fathers," first
governor
  of the Plymouth colony in America, was born, probably in
Nottinghamshire
 , England, about 1575. Owing to religious persecution at
home
  he took
refuge
  in Holland about 1607, and eventually became a deacon in the
church
  at Leiden of which John Robinson was the pastor. In 162o he emigrated to America in the " Mayflower," and founded the Plymouth colony. Before leaving England he had probably been elected
governor
 ; after the signing of the famous " Compact " this election was confirmed; and on the 23rd of
March
  162o (1621 N.S.)
Carver
  was re-elected for the ensuing year. Early in
April
 , however, he died from the effects of sunstroke.
