Answer:

John Winthrop

Step-by-step explanation:

John Winthrop became the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He was the best choice for the Puritans to appoint him as a governor because of his educational and vocational background. He went to Trinity College where he studied law, later gained a position in the government. He also became a country squire in England. He was respected and admired for his decisions to help the colony to survive in the New World.
