Robert Feake
Robert Feake (1602-c.1661) was early New England settler, soldier, goldsmith, and founder of what is now Greenwich, Connecticut. Biography Feake was a goldsmith and likely came to New England with the Winthrop fleet of 1630. Governor John Winthrop named Mount Feake in Waltham after Feake in 1632, and Feake Island (Fetch's Island) in Virginia is also named after him. Around 1633 Feake married Elizabeth Fones, the widow of Henry Winthrop, the Governor's son. Feake served as a lieutenant in the militia and lived in Watertown and was also involved in the settlement of Dedham in 1636. There is no record of him ever visiting Dedham, and he presumably was only asked to join the petition to the Great and General Court for his political influence. In return he was granted additional lands in Dedham.

People From Watertown, Massachusetts
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility.
