Carr, Sir Robert 1664-1667
Commissioner; born in Northumberland, England.
In 1664 he was appointed, with Sir Richard Nicolls (q. v.) and others, on a commission to regulate the affairs of New England, and to take possession of New Netherland (q. v.). The commission came on a fleet which had been fitted out to operate against the Dutch settlers on the Hudson.
Carr and Nichols gained possession of New Netherland Aug. 27, 1664, and named it New York in honor of the Duke of York.
On Sept. 24 of the same year Fort Orange surrendered to the English, and was renamed Albany.
In February, 1665, Carr and his associates went to Boston, but the colonists there declined to recognize them, as did also the towns in New Hampshire.
In Maine, however, the commissioners were well received, and a new government was established in that colony, which lasted from 1666 to 1668.
He died in Bristol, England, June 1, 1667.
