Henry Winthrop (1608–1630) was the second son of John Winthrop, founder and Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.[1][2][3] In addition to his taking part in his father's Great Migration to America in 1630, Henry is part of American history for being the first husband of Elizabeth Fones,[2][4] who would later be a founding settler of what is now Greenwich, Connecticut,[5] but also be at the center of scandal[6] in colonial America, as captured in the popular novel, The Winthrop Woman.
