Coddington, William

Coddington, William
(1601, Boston, Lincolnshire, Inglaterra–1 nov. 1678, Rhode Island, EE.UU.).

Gobernador colonial en América del Norte y disidente religioso. Funcionario de la Massachusetts Bay Company, llegó a Massachusetts en 1630 y se desempeñó en el poder legislativo de la colonia. Como seguidor de Anne Hutchinson, debió abandonar el lugar y partir a Aquidneck Island (Rhode Island), donde estableció asentamientos en Portsmouth y Newport. Aunque procuró mantener Aquidneck como colonia separada, en 1644 se la unió con la hacienda de Roger Williams en Providence. Más adelante, al reconocer la unidad de Rhode Island, ocupó el cargo de gobernador de la colonia en 1674, 1675 y 1678.
