KEAYNE, Robert, philanthropist, born in England in 1595; died in Boston, Massachusetts, 23 March, 1656. He was a merchant tailor by trade, and, possessing considerable estate, aided the Plymouth colony by donations in 1624, and became one of the founders of the Massachusetts colony, settling in Boston in 1635. Having been a member of the "Honorable artillery company" in London, he organized the body bearing the same name in Boston. He was frequently a representative to the state legislature between 1638 and 1649, a liberal donor to Harvard, and left a legacy for the establishment of a free school in Boston, which is now the Latin-grammar school. He was eccentric, and his will, which is reprinted in part in the " New England Historical and Genealogical Register" (vol. vi.), is one of the longest on record in the United States.
