John Winthrop

Step-by-step explanation:

With the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630, John Winthrop became the first governor for the colony. He was one of the prominent figures for the Puritans in the colony because of his educational background. He studied law at Trinity College and later served in the government in England.
