First, the young John Winthrop.
John Winthrop was born in Suffolk, England in 1587. He was his parents' only son. His father, Adam Winthrop, was the lord of Groton Manor, a small estate in the English countryside. John grew up on his father's estate, amid gently rolling hills, fields of wheat and rye, and shallow ponds. In his childhood he as educated by a private tutor, and at the age of fourteen his father enrolled him in Trinity College in Cambridge. He studied there for two years and then returned to Groton to begin practical training in running his father's estate. Soon Adam Winthrop saw his son's hidden marriage problem and introduced him to Mary Worth, the daughter of a distinguished Essex nobleman. Three weeks later John was married at the age of seventeen. Ten months later, just after his eighteenth birthday, he became a father. John and his wife Mary worked hard and had six children in ten years. Then Mary suddenly died. After six months John remarried, but on his first wedding anniversary his second wife died. One year later John married his third wife, Margaret. By all accounts, Margaret was one of the most appealing women in all of American history. She was beautiful and gracious. She was also a woman of faith. John Winthrop treasured her as his greatest possession. When he traveled away from home, he never failed to send her love letters. Here is one of his letters:

Died: April 5, 1676, Boston, Massachusetts John Winthrop, often known as "John Winthrop, Junior" or "the Younger", was the eldest son of John Winthrop, first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and Mary Forth, his first wife. His parents were wealthy, and in 1622, at age 16, he was sent to Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, for a general education. Two years later, he returned to England and studied law until 1627, when he went to sea, first to France as a secretary to a captain on a military expedition, then to Turkey, Italy, and Holland as a regular traveler. When he came home to England in August of 1629, he found that his father was preparing to leave for America as the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. His father left in the spring of 1630, and John stayed behind to care for his stepmother, Martha (Tyndal) Winthrop, and the Winthrop children, as well as his father's businesses. On February 8, 1630/1, he married his cousin Martha Fones, daughter of Thomas and Anne (Winthrop) Fones of London. Some of their correspondence after marriage was in code, and not deciphered until almost three centuries later.

John Winthrop
by Krishan, age 12
All leaders in history were smart and did different things but John Winthrop stood out from the rest because he started some of the first colonies in America. He was a Puritan leader, a very religious governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony. He was the most popular of the Puritans. Winthrop had a very long life. When he came to America, he built his home where today stands the Isaac Royall House in Medford, Massachusetts. The environment of Medford was mild. In the summer it would be warm and in the winter it would be cold. There was one waterway for shipping and trading. It was called the Mystic River. Today you can see Winthrop's house on George Street where the Royall House is located and parts of the old roof lines from Winthrop's home are still visible.

John Winthrop was born in Groton, Suffolk, England in 1588. Educated at Cambridge University he practised law in London but was persecuted for his Puritan religious beliefs. Winthrop thought that the Church of England should abolish bishops, ecclesiastical courts and other relics of Roman Catholicism such as kneeling and the use of priestly vestment and altars. The Separatists also believed that the government was too tolerant towards those who were guilty of adultery, drunkenness and breaching the Sabbath.
Winthrop was granted a charter for the Massachusetts Bay Colony and arrived with 700 settlers in 1630. He served as governor of

The founding of Massachusetts Bay marked the beginning of a remarkable development of the principles of self-government. Lawfully, this colony was also the first society in the world to require universal education of its populace. John Winthrop was the colony's most influential founder. Born in 1588, the son of a wealthy landowner, he was educated for two years at Trinity College, Cambridge. Elected the first governor, in October 1629, before the colonists set sail from England, he held office for approximately twelve years, until his death in 1649. More important than his official position, however, was his intellectual leadership. Winthrop was a member of the Puritan faction within the established Church of England. In 1629, he wrote his ``Arguments for the Plantation of New England,'' in which he explained why a wealthy man like himself would choose to abandon his position in England, for a place in the wilderness. In this statement, Winthrop exposed an anti-human outlook widespread in England:

John Winthrop: First Governor of Massachusetts
While en route to the New World on board the Arabella, John Winthrop wrote a sermon entitled "A Model of Christian Charity," in which he outlined the purposes of God for New England. Winthrop had a deep understanding of God's divine purposes for the colony. "We shall be a city set on a hill," he said of Boston - where the church was the center of life during those early years of the city's history. He described a harmonious Christian community whose laws and government would logically proceed from a godly and purposeful arrangement. John Winthrop also believed that this new form of government would help bring about a "Golden Age" and that one day all the nations of the world would copy this form of government: "We shall find that the God of Israel shall be among us, when ten of us shall be able to resist a thousand of our enemies; when He shall make us a praise and glory that men shall say of succeeding plantations, 'the Lord make it like that of New England.'" But Winthrop also gave a warning: "The eyes of all people are upon us, so that if we deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause us to withdraw His present help from us, we shall be made a story and a byword through the world."

  • John Winthrop and the Origins of American Multiculturalism: A Plea Against Balkanization In this lengthy essay, Dr. David R. Williams, Professor of English at George Mason University, argues that in our efforts to broaden the traditional canon of American Literature we need to be careful not to throw out authors just because they are dead white males associated with patriarchy and authoritarianism. Instead, he says, when possible we need to broaden our readings of the old, traditional canon. He focuses on John Winthrop's "Christian Charity" speech to illustrate his point. Despite its pleas for unity and conformity, this speech also embraces diversity. Throughout this essay, Williams explores the pro-diversity side of Winthrop.(jr)

It is hard to know how to categorize Winthrop, a problem made more acute by his isolation in a frontier community. He was interested in natural phenomena of all sorts. He had a telescope and he observed the heavens, though not as a professional astronomer. He was the first scientific investigator of note in British North America.
He was a devoted student of hermetic philosophy with the reputation of being an adept. He collected an extensive library on alchemy.
