Last Edited=17 Jul 2012
William Berkeley was born before 16 July 1608.2 He was the son of Sir Maurice Berkeley and Elizabeth Killigrew.2 He died on 9 July 1677.2
WILLIAM BERKELEY, Knt., colonial governor of Virginia, baptized at Hansworth, Middlesex 16 July 1608. He matriculated at Queen’s College, Oxford, 1623, and received a B.A. degree., 1624, and M.A. degree, 1629. He was known in London as a playwright of merit. He was knighted by King Charles 1 at Berwick in 1639. In 1642 he was appointed to govern Virginia, where he remained with the exception of a rare visit to England until the year 1677. To encourage diversification of crops, he cultivated flax, cotton, and rice, on his own lands. He also experimented with silk production. He built his own mansion of brick, and encouraged others to follow his example. Following a great massacre by the Indians, in 1644 he mustered a small army and completely crushed the Indian uprising. He encouraged the Cavaliers to come over in large numbers, and gave asylum to persecuted English clergy. Parliament called upon him to submit to the Commonweath, but he defiantly refused to do so. He surrendered control of the colony when a Parliamentary fleet arrived in Virginia. He married FRANCES CULPEPER, widow of Capt. Samuel Stephens [see SAINT LEGER 20.ii.a]. They had no issue. Following the Restoration, he was put back in office. His mismanagement culminated in the insurrection of 1676. He embarked on a course of execution and confiscation too violent to be approved by the England government. He was subsequently replaced and recalled to England. SIR WILLIAM BERKELEY died 9 July 1677, and was buried at Twickenham, Middlesex. D.A.B. 2 (1929): 217—218 (biog. of Sir William Berkeley: ‘Naturally bold and resolute … He had always been animated by a spirit of almost preposterous loyalty to the throne’). Wm &Map Quarterly 2nd Ser. 16 (1936): 289—315. J.W. Raimo Biog. Dict. of American Colonial and Revolutionary Governors (1980): 472—473 (biog. of Sir William Berkeley).2 Reference: 3320.2
