John Winthrop was the person that founded the Connecticut Colony in the New World. John Winthrop was the son of the man who founded Massachusetts Bay Colony.
The first governor of Massachusetts was John Hancock who served from October 25, 1780 - January 29, 1785.
The Governor of Massachusetts is elected to a 4 year term. Massachusetts has no term limits, so a person could run for the office as often as he or she chooses.
I am not sure which colony you are asking about, but every colony had a founder, or a leading figure. For example, the Massachusetts Bay Colony was founded by John Winthrop.
The Colony name Massachusetts probably came from a member of the Algonquian people who lived in the Massachusetts bay area, the person who probably helped name this colony's name was Massachuset (pronounced mass-a-so-it). As you can see, it is very similar in spelling, it is just pronounced differently.
