 The original charter of Harvard College |
Thomas Danforth (baptized November 20, 1623 – November 5, 1699) was a politician, magistrate, and landowner in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. A religiously very conservative Puritan, he served for many years as one of the colony's councilors and magistrates, generally leading hardline opposition to attempts by the English kings to assert control over the colony. He accumulated land in the central part of the colony that eventually became a major portion of Framingham, Massachusetts. His government roles included administration of territory in present-day Maine that was purchased by the colony.
