Richard Goodwin Keats

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vice-Admiral Sir Richard Goodwin Keats (16 January 1757 – 5 April 1834) Governor of Newfoundland, born Chalton, Hampshire. Keats joined the Royal Navy in 1770, and his numerous achievements and skills earned him quick promotion through the ranks. Ill health forced him to retire in 1812. The following year he was appointed Governor of Newfoundland and held office until 1816. During his term the British government agreed for the first time to let Newfoundland settlers lease land for cultivation. Keats granted 110 leases around St. John's in the first year alone. In 1816 he returned to England and was succeeded as Governor of Newfoundland by Francis Pickmore.
