CARR, Sir Robert, British commissioner in New England, b. in Northumberland, England ; d. in Bristol, England, 1 June, 1667. He was ap- pointed commissioner by Charles II. in 1664, in conjunction with Nicolls, Cartwright, and Maver- ick. The New Englanders took measures for re- sisting any infraction of their liberties by the com- missioners, who were nominated by the duke of York and given extensive powers for regulating the affairs of New England. The commissioners arrived with a fleet, which was equipped for re- ducing the Dutch settlements on the Hudson. On 27 Aug., 1664, Nicolls and Carr captured New Am- sterdam from the Dutch and called it New York in honor of the duke, afterward James II. The garrison at Fort Orange capitulated on 24 Sept., and the place was renamed Albany. Carr forced the Swedes and Dutch on the Delaware into a capitulation, 1 Oct., 1664, went to Boston in Feb- ruary, 1665, and with his coadjutoi's attempted to supersede the constituted authorities of the colony ; but the colonists refused to recognize their com- mission. They then went to the north and en- deavored to restore proprietary government. The towns of New Hampshire obeyed the instructions of the governor of Massachusetts, and refused to hold intercourse with the commissioners. In Maine the people welcomed the commissioners, preferring direct dependence on the king to incorporation in Massachusetts. A court was held at Casco in July, 1666, and a new government under the commis- sioners was constituted and maintained until 1668. In the mean time Carr returned to England and died the dav after his arrival.
