  He was in service of the Massachusetts colony for 62 years. Born in Lincolnshire, England, Bradstreet married Anne Dudley, the daughter of Thomas Dudley, the Puritan leader, in 1628. Two years later the three of them emigrated to North America. In 1634 John Winthrop, the governor of MA Colony, sent Bradstreet to the colonies of Plymouth, New Haven and CT to negotiate the formation of the New England Confederation. After the restoration of the monarchy, Bradstreet traveled to England and successfully persuaded King Charles II to confirm the colony's charter. Her husband, Simon (1603-1697), was a colonial administrator and governor of MA (1679-1686 and 1689-1692)..
