Daniel Parke
Daniel Parke (5 September 1664 – 7 December 1710) was a member of the colonial gentry of Virginia who served as both a soldier and politician. He was lynched by an angry mob during his tenure as governor of the Leeward Islands, making him the only governor in British America to be murdered.〔O'Shaughnessy, Andrew Jackson () "An Empire Divided: The American Revolution and the British Caribbean" pg. 43〕
==Early life==
Daniel Parke was born in Virginia in 1664, the son of Daniel Parke, a native of Essex who held several offices in Virginia, and his wife Rebecca Evelyn (a cousin of noted writer John Evelyn).〔Tyler, Lyon Gardiner, and Morton, Richard Lee () "The William and Mary Quarterly" vol. 10 pp. 172–172〕 As a child, he was sent to England to be raised with his cousins from the Evelyn family, at the family seat in Long Ditton.〔Webb, Stephen Saunders () "Marlborough's America"〕
Parke returned to Virginia at age 16 to reclaim the family estates from his guardian Philip Ludwell. He also married Ludwell's daughter Jane, and the couple had two daughters.〔Burns 1954, p.417〕 He became a protégé of Sir Edmund Andros, with whose support he served in the Virginia House of Burgesses from 1683 and on the governor's council from 1690. Despite these successes Parke was unpopular with his peers, who considered too ready to threaten violence in financial or political disputes.〔
Parke resigned his political offices in 1697 and again set sail for England, abandoning his family in Virginia. He settled in Hampshire and in 1701 was an unsuccessful Whig candidate for the House of Commons constituency of Whitchurch.〔
