Carver, Jonathan 1732-1780
Traveller; born in Stillwater, Conn., in 1732; served in the French and Indian War, and afterwards attempted to explore the vast region in America which the English had acquired from the French.
He penetrated the country to Lake Superior and its shores and tributaries, and, after travelling about 7.000 miles, he returned to Boston, whence he departed in 1766, and sailed for England, to communicate his discoveries to the government, and to petition the King for a reimbursement of his expenses.
His Travels were published in 1778.
He was badly used in England, and, by utter neglect, was reduced to a state of extreme destitution.
He died in London, Jan. 31, 1780.
