William Tufton

[1] In 1629, the Earl of Carlisle appointed Sir William Tufton as governor of Barbados, sending him to the island.

In addition, he improved some aspects of employment of workers, changing some of the policies of former governor Robert Wheatley.

However, the increased attention given to the workers rather than entrepreneurs led to Carlisle and traders replacing him with Henry Hawley, who arrived in Barbados in June 1630.

In addition, Barbados suffered a severe drought, which restricted the supplies to workers and caused the so-called "hunger period".
