Anne-Sylvie Mouzon (10 May 1956 – 10 September 2013) was a Belgian politician from the Socialist Party (PS).
 Born in Kisangani in the Belgian Congo, she received a law degree from the Université libre de Bruxelles of Brussels and worked as a lawyer for various cabinet-members.
 Since 1982, she resided in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode and, in 1989, became a member of the Brussels Regional Parliament after Charles Picqué became Minister-President when the region's government was established.
 She was head of the PS for the French Community Commission of Brussels since 2004.
 She died from cancer on 10 September 2013 at the age of 57.
 She is survived by a husband and two children.
Abraham Josias Sluysken (3 December 1736, Deventer - 18 January 1799, The Hague) was the last Governor of the Dutch Cape Colony before British occupation in 1795.
 Sluysken was born in the Netherlands, and in 1765 became governor of the Dutch trading colony of Surat on the northwest coast of India.
 He was sent to the Cape in 1793.
 With his eye on defense in the case of a possible French attack, Sluysken commissioned the construction of a few small forts at Simon's Town in 1794.
 The following year, the citizens of Swellendam and Graaff-Reinet revolted and declared their independence from the Cape.
 At the same time British ships attack the Cape, and while Sluysken attempted to defend the colony against invasion, he had to surrender to the British forces on 14 September 1795.
 He returned to the Netherlands on 12 November.
John Greene Jr. (1620 – 27 November 1708) was a deputy governor of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations who spent almost his entire adult life in the public service of the colony.
 Born in England, he was the son of John Greene Sr. and Joan Tattersall, and sailed to New England with his parents in 1635 aboard the ship "James".
 His father, after coming from Massachusetts to Providence, became one of the original settlers of Warwick.
 In 1652 Greene served in his first public role as a commissioner from Warwick, and served in some public capacity every year until 1690 when he was first chosen as deputy governor of the colony.
 He then served 10 consecutive one-year terms in this capacity, retiring from public service in 1700 at the age of 80.
 He was one of the 10 Assistants named in the Royal Charter of 1663, which would become the basis for Rhode Island's government for nearly two centuries.
 During the devastating events of King Phillips War, Greene was one of 16 prominent inhabitants of the colony whose counsel was sought by the General Assembly.
Edward Wynne was Proprietary Governor of the Ferryland colony from 1621 to 1626.
 Born in Wales, he was appointed by Sir George Calvert, (later, first Baron and Lord Baltimore) to establish the colony, and in August 1621, he landed at "Ferryland" with 12 men.
 By November of that same year, the colonists had completed a large dwelling, and then by Christmas, had added a stone kitchen.
 In 1622, a second group of colonists led by Daniel Powell was sent to the new English Colony, bringing the population to 32, including seven women.
 Within a few years, the Colony had housing, a forge, a warehouse, sawmill and wharf.
 In 1623, the Colony became the Province of Avalon when Calvert's grant was confirmed by King Charles I of England, growing to a population of 100 by 1625.
 Wynne was dismissed that year, probably because he lacked the skills to govern a growing Colony of that size and because Calvert himself wanted to govern the colony directly.
Nicholas Easton ( 1593–1675) was an early colonial President and Governor of Rhode Island.
 Born in Hampshire, England, he lived in the towns of Lymington and Romsey before immigrating to New England with his two sons in 1634.
 Once in the New World, he lived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony towns of Ipswich, Newbury, and Hampton.
 Easton supported the dissident ministers John Wheelwright and Anne Hutchinson during the Antinomian Controversy, and was disarmed in 1637, and then banished from the Massachusetts colony the following year.
 Along with many other Hutchinson supporters, he settled in Portsmouth on Aquidneck Island, later a part of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
 He was in Portsmouth for about a year when he and eight others signed an agreement to create a plantation elsewhere on the island, establishing the town of Newport.
Josiah Winslow was born in Plymouth Colony about 1628 and died in 1680 in Marshfield, Plymouth Colony.
 In records of the time, historians also name him Josias Winslow, and modern writers have carried that name forward.
 He was born one year after the Charter which founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony, bringing over 20,000 English immigrants to New England in the 1630s.
 Josiah was the Harvard College-educated son of "Mayflower" passenger and Pilgrim leader Edward Winslow and was Governor from 1673 to 1680.
 The most significant event during his term in office was King Philip's War, which created great havoc for both the English and Indian populations and changed New England forever.
 Josiah was the first native born governor of an American Colony.
The Belgian Congo (French: "Congo Belge" , Dutch: "Belgisch-Congo" ) was a Belgian colony in Central Africa between 1908 and 1960 in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Jeremy Clarke (also known as Jeremiah Clarke) (1605–1652) was an early colonial settler and President of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
 Born into a prominent family in England, he was a merchant who came to New England with his wife, Frances Latham, and four stepchildren, settling first at Portsmouth in 1638, but the following year joining William Coddington and others in establishing the town of Newport.
 Here he held a variety of civic positions until 1648 when Coddington's election as President of the colony was disputed, and Clarke was chosen to serve in that office instead.
 He was the father of Walter Clarke, another colonial governor of Rhode Island, and also had family connections with several other future governors of the colony.
The year 1870 in the history of the Cape Colony marks the dawn of a new era in South Africa, and it can be said that the development of modern South Africa began on that date.
 Despite political complications that arose from time to time, progress in Cape Colony continued at a steady pace until the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer Wars in 1899.
 The discovery of diamonds in the Orange River in 1867 was immediately followed by similar finds in the Vaal River.
 This led to the rapid occupation and development of huge tracts of the country, which had hitherto been sparsely inhabited.
 Dutoitspan and Bultfontein diamond mines were discovered in 1870, and in 1871 the even richer mines of Kimberley and De Beers were discovered.
 These four great deposits of mineral wealth were incredibly productive, and constituted the greatest industrial asset that the Colony possessed.
Col. Joseph Whipple Sr. (1662 - 28 April 1746) was a wealthy merchant in the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, and active in the civil affairs of the colony during the first half of the 18th century.
 The son of John Whipple and Sarah Whipple, who were early settlers of Dorchester in the Massachusetts Bay Colony and later of Providence, Whipple was born in Providence, the 10th of 11 children.
 He began his public service to the colony in 1698, selected as a Deputy from Providence, and served in that capacity for a majority of the years until 1728.
 He also served on the Providence Town Council for 15 years between 1703 and 1729, and was an Assistant in 1714.
 From 1719 to 1720 he was Colonel of the regiment of militia for the mainland.
 In 1696 he and others were granted a lot on which to build a schoolhouse, and in 1710 he was licensed to keep a public house, paying 20 shillings for the privilege.
 Whipple died in 1746, leaving a sizable estate to his children and grandchildren.
 He was buried in the North Burial Ground in Providence.
