https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Collier_(colonist)
William Collier was one of the 42 "Adventurers" who signed the agreement with the Plymouth Colony on November 15, 1626 to receive 200 pounds a year for nine years. The Adventurers in England raised the stock to begin to supply the Plymouth Plantation. They were gentlemen, merchants, and craftsmen; some adventuring great sums, some small, as their estates and convictions allowed. William Collier's brew house in London was mentioned in 1631.
William came to New England in 1631/2 with his four daughters. His wife probably died before the family emigrated. He was an agent of James Shirley and was one of the "old comers" of Plymouth, Massachusetts where he was taxed in 1632 and was listed as a freeman in 1633.
William Collier served as assistant counselor to the Governor during 1634-1636, and during two sessions of the Colonial Assembly, served as acting Governor. He visited Boston with Governor Bradford in 1634 to consult with authorities about the Hocking Affair. He was also one of the referees in adjusting partnership business between the English and the Plymouth proprietors in 1641.
William also served as assistant of the Plymouth Colony from 1634/5 to 1652 and 1654 to 1666; and in 1643 was appointed a commissioner from Plymouth to form a confederation of New England Colonies. He served as a member of the Council of War in 1642, 1643, 1653, and 1658. He was rated on the tax rolls as the wealthiest citizen of Plymouth. His daughter, Sarah, married Love Brewster who came to New England on the "Mayflower" in 1620.
