Simon Bradstreet (baptized March 18, 1603/4 - March 27, 1697) was a colonial magistrate, businessman, diplomat, and the last governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Arriving in Massachusetts on the Winthrop Fleet in 1630, Bradstreet was almost constantly involved in the politics of the colony but became its governor only in 1679. He served on diplomatic missions and as agent to the crown in London, and also served as a commissioner to the New England Confederation. He was politically comparatively moderate, arguing minority positions in favor of freedom of speech and for accommodation of the demands of King Charles II following his restoration to the throne.

Bradstreet was married to Anne, the daughter of Massachusetts co-founder Thomas Dudley and New England's first published poet. He was a businessman, investing in land and shipping interests. Due to his advanced age (he died at 93) Cotton Mather referred to him as the "Nestor of New England". His descendants include the famous jurists Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. and David Souter.

William was with Lucie his wife "possessed of all the lands and tenements which Sir Edmund Spirurnel, knt. of the county of Essex, possessed in the hundred of Middleton, alias Milton, which had been in the occupation of Henry de Albany, in consideration of eight marks," and also, about 1298 (26th of Edward I 1272-1307), they bought "an acre and a half of land, and 13 days work in Rainham" for 4 marks sterling by grant of Nicholas de Makeland.
