English-born US colonial governor. Shirley travelled to America in 1731 and served as judge of admiralty and then advocate general before becoming governor of the colony in 1741. In 1755 he was named the supreme commander of British forces in North America during the French and Indian War, but after the failure of the Niagara expedition, he was recalled to England in 1756.
