Sir Henry Vane (1613-1662) (often referred to as Harry Vane and Henry Vane the Younger to distinguish him from his father), son of Henry Vane the Elder, was an English politician, statesman, and colonial governor. He was briefly present in North America, serving one term as the Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and supported the creation of Roger Williams' Rhode Island Colony and Harvard College. A proponent of religious tolerance, he returned to England in 1637 following the Antinomian controversy that led to the banning of Anne Hutchinson from Massachusetts. Document Signed "H. Vane" removed from a larger portion of a document. July 19, 1644. Good condition.
