Anthony Rowse was the first Colonial Governor of Suriname during English suzerainty. Sir Thomas Modyford, 1st Baronet mentions his starting an English settlement on the Suriname River.[1] In 1650 reportedly landed in Suriname with around 300 people. That said as the effort had been initiated by Baron Francis Willoughby it would later be known as Willoughby-Land.[2] Once there Rowse is said to have negotiated with two "Carib kings or princes."[3]
