Simon Bradstreet was a New England merchant, politician and colonial administrator who served as the last governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Arriving in Massachusetts on the Winthrop Fleet in 1630, Bradstreet was almost constantly involved in the politics of the colony and became its governor only in 1679. Simon was married to Anne, the daughter of Massachusetts co-founder Thomas Dudley. Anne was also the most prominent of early English poets of North America and first writer in England's North American colonies to be published. She is the first Puritan figure in American Literature and notable for her large corpus of poetry, as well as personal writings published posthumously. We are descended from Simon and Anne through the Laviolette (DeRochemont) line.
