Francis Newman

NEWMAN, Francis, statesman, born in England early in the 17th century; died in New Haven, Connecticut, 18 November, 1660. He emigrated to New Hampshire in 1638, and subsequently removed to the colony of New Haven, where he became secretary under the first governor, Theophilus Eaton. In 1653 he was sent with others to wait on Governor Peter Stuyvesant, of New Netherlands, to obtain satisfaction for the encroachments of the Dutch upon the colony. The same year Newman was appointed assistant governor, and in 1854-'8 served as commissioner of the united colonies. In the latter year he succeeded to the governorship, which office he held until his death.
