| | Jonathan Belcher: Governor in the Emerging Trilateral Center |
| | But as long as the colonies were divided, with each colonial concerned only for his own interests and the interests of his own colony, and not as concerned for the welfare of the citizens of the other colonies, the Americans would not muster the initiative to create such an intercolonial, America-wide military force. |
| | Halifax's period of greatest activity was 1750-1754, when he intimidated local colonial politicians by proposing wide-sweeping measures for overhauling the administration of the American colonies and frightened colonials accustomed to believing their own version of the British constitution--that colonial assemblies were on a legislative parity with the British Parliament. |
| | The colonial assemblies were to elect the members of this representative council, and unlike Bladen's bicameral Plantation Parliament, Franklin's Grand Council was to function as a unicameral legislature, whose acts were subject to the veto of the (Crown-appointed) President General. |

| | Ashley, The Commercial Legislation of England and the American Colonies, 1660-1760 |
| | Pennsylvania is the colony the most suspected of carrying on manufactures, on account of the number of German artisans who are known to have transplanted themselves into that country, though even these, in truth, when they come there, generally apply themselves to agriculture as the surest support and most advantageous employment. |
| | The colonies evidently had had some difficulty at first in obtaining “returns,” to use the language of the period, for the goods they wished to import; and for a time they had, perhaps, to go rather short of the finer fabrics. |
| | Of course, the purpose of the government was not primarily the welfare of the colonies. |

| | Gurdon Saltonstall |
| | Because no person could be elected to a Connecticut colonial government position at the spring elections unless his name was on the list of twenty candidates developed the previous fall, a special law was enacted that permitted a previously unlisted candidate for governor to be elected. |
| | As Governor, he strove to end Connecticut's opposition to some of England's colonial policies and was instrumental in increasing the colony's involvement in military actions against the French and Indians in Queen Anne's War. |
| | New London had provided governors for the Colony of Connecticut for 44 of the previous 67 years, and Saltonstall was buried with an impressive ceremony in the Ancient Cemetery. |

| | Leslie V. Brock: The Colonial Currency, Prices, and Exchange Rates |
| | Colonial paper currency, generally called bills of credit, was issued on two bases: on the credit of the colony supported by tax funds, and on loan. |
| | In the case of New England and the Middle colonies, where direct trade between the colonies and Britain was at a minimum, it was necessary for the colonies to have recourse to a roundabout trade to procure the necessary bills of exchange and specie to pay their adverse balances with Britain. |
| | The par of exchange in Virginia was reckoned in the colony at 125. |

| | North Carolina Governors |
| | In the sixteenth century the nations of Europe began a period of exploration and colonization in the "New World." England sought to maintain her interests in the struggle for new territories and resources among other contending nations, principally Spain. |
| | This new colony was named "Virginia" in honor of Queen Elizabeth, the virgin queen. |
| | After 1835, governors were elected by popular vote for two year terms, and could be re-elected for another two years. |

| | "The Colonial Virginian" |
| | Governor Spotswood, in 1711, desiring to increase the facilities for the education of the Indians, recommended to the Assembly an annual appropriation for the purpose. |
| | In 1724, in the replies to the Bishop of London made by the rectors of the several parishes as to the number of endowed schools in Virginia, it appears that there were as many as four schools in many parishes, in some of which Latin and Greek were taught. |
| | Governor Spotswood notes as early as 1718 an amateur dramatic performance on the occasion of the celebration of the anniversary of the birthday of George I on May 1st, and there were frequent representations, and more than one "play-house," in Williamsburg before the Revolution. |

| | Tyler, Education in Colonial Virginia. III. Free Schools |
| | In 1724 Rev. Thomas Hughes reported the school as endowed with 500 acres of land, three slaves, and a number of cattle; and the master then was George Ranson. |
| | This supposition is confirmed by the fact that, eleven years before (in 1660), the colonial Assembly had passed an act for the founding of “a college and free schoole,” to which object Berkeley, the council, and the members of the General Assembly all subscribed. |
| | James Blair, a Scotch clergyman, recently arrived in the colony, assumed the initiative, and Governor Francis Nicholson and his council, as well as the Convention of Clergy held at Jamestown in 1690, enthusiastically adopted the proposals drawn by him for a college, to be recommended to the next General Assembly. |

| | The DUTCH in SOUTH AFRICA 1652-1795 1802-1806: Kaapstad (Cape town) |
| | In 1679, the colony had 289 Europeans of whom 142 were free-burghers and 191 slaves, as in Ceylon, the free-burghers in Kaapstad (Cape Town) were in most cases tavern-keeping or to a lesser extent craftsmen and shopkeeper. |
| | Jan de la Fontaine, became governor in 1724 and he was in control of the Cape Colony until 1739, except for an interval of three years, when was governor Gysbert Noodt. |
| | The first governor born in the Cape was appointed in 1739, he was Henry Swellengrebel, his name has been preserved in the town of Swellendam, which was founded during his government. |

| | The Second Amendment: Toward an Afro-Americanist Reconsideration |
| | Governors of settlements often also held the title of militia captain, reflecting both the civil and military nature of their office. |
| | [51] In most colonies, all white men between the ages of sixteen and sixty, usually with the exception of clergy and religious objectors, were considered part of the militia and required to be armed. |
| | Ironically, while the fl presence in colonial America introduced a new set of restrictions concerning the English law of arms and the militia, it helped strengthen the view that the security of the state was best achieved through the arming of all free citizens. |

| | The Colonial Virginia Register |
| | From 1652 to 1660 the Governors were elected by the House of Burgesses, though there is some reason to believe that their choice may have been influenced by the wishes of the Parliamentary authorities, or of Cromwell. |
| | The Councillors were the Governor's advisers in executive matters, and patents, etc., are stated to be issued with their "advice and consent." They constituted the General Court -the supreme court of the Colony and also had legislative functions as members of the upper house of the Assembly, corresponding somewhat to our senate. |
| | The colonial almanacs (which were always published late in the year before that whose date they bear-as is the case now) contain lists which have in the main been found to be very accurate, of the members of the House in existence at the time when the almanac was printed. |

| | Sven Gunnarsson and his Swanson Family |
| | In August 1639, the Swedish government, needing settlers for its New Sweden colony, sent word to the governors of Elfsborg, Dalsland and Värmland to capture deserted soldiers and others who had committed some slight misdemeanor and to send them to America. |
| | It was not surprising, therefore, that Sven Gunnarsson was one of the 22 freemen signing a petition of grievances which they submitted to Governor Printz in the summer of 1653. |
| | Facts: Sven Skute's 1653 patent did not include Wicaco; it was also nullified by Governor Rising in 1654 because it embraced lands west of the Schuylkill which had long been settled by others. |

| | The Colonial Currency (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) |
| | The existing colonial price indices based upon the prices of a few commodities bought or sold in foreign commerce are in no way indicative of the general price level.10 The colonial prices of such commodities depend predominantly upon the conditions of supply and demand in foreign markets and on the rate of exchange. |
| | Much of the retail trade of the colonies, particularly in the country and smaller towns, was carried on by what William T. Baxter has called "bookkeeping barter."38 Storekeepers prices their goods in monetary terms, but their customers paid for them in commodities, upon which prices were likewise placed. |
| | In the Middle and Northern colonies the per capita indebtedness was small, ranging from.0042 in New Jersey to.49 in New York. |
