October 10, 1677 – October 10, 1761) was an American-born politician and colonial administrator who spent the majority of his life in the <a href="/wiki/Province_of_Massachusetts_Bay" title="Province of Massachusetts Bay">Province of Massachusetts Bay</a>. Dummer served as the colony's lieutenant governor from 1716 to 1730, including an extended period from 1723 to 1728 when he acted as governor. He is remembered for his role in leading the colony during <a href="/wiki/Dummer%27s_War" title="Dummer's War">Dummer's War</a>, which was fought between the British <a href="/wiki/New_England_Colonies" title="New England Colonies">New England Colonies</a> and a loose coalition of Indian tribes in modern-day <a href="/wiki/New_Hampshire" title="New Hampshire">New Hampshire</a>, <a href="/wiki/Maine" title="Maine">Maine</a>, <a href="/wiki/New_Brunswick" title="New Brunswick">New Brunswick</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Nova_Scotia" title="Nova Scotia">Nova Scotia</a>. </p><p>Dummer was born into a wealthy Massachusetts merchant family, traveling to England as a young man to participate in the business. Upon his return to Massachusetts in 1712 he entered provincial politics, gaining a royal commission as lieutenant governor through the efforts of his brother <a href="/wiki/Jeremiah_Dummer" title="Jeremiah Dummer">Jeremiah</a>. Dummer served during the turbulent tenure of Governor <a href="/wiki/Samuel_Shute" title="Samuel Shute">Samuel Shute</a>, in which Shute quarreled with the assembly over many matters. Shute left the province quite abruptly at the end of 1722, while it was in the middle of a war with the Indians of northern New England. </p><p>The war was brought to a successful conclusion by Dummer. He negotiated a treaty with the <a href="/wiki/Abenaki_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Abenaki people">Abenaki people</a> which formed the basis for a succession of later treaties. In 1728, Shute was replaced by <a href="/wiki/William_Burnet_(colonial_administrator)" title="William Burnet (colonial administrator)">William Burnet</a>, whose <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1154941027">.mw-parser-output .frac{white-space:nowrap}.mw-parser-output .frac .num,.mw-parser-output .frac .den{font-size:80%;line-height:0;vertical-align:super}.mw-parser-output .frac .den{vertical-align:sub}.mw-parser-output .sr-only{border:0;clip:rect(0,0,0,0);clip-path:polygon(0px 0px,0px 0px,0px 0px);height:1px;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;padding:0;position:absolute;width:1px}</style><span class="frac">1<span class="sr-only">+</span><span class="num">1</span>⁄<span class="den">2</span></span> years in office were consumed by a vitriolic fight over his salary.

Since the proposed currency issuance greatly exceeded the amount needed for repairs, Dummer vetoed the request and dissolved the assembly.<sup id="cite_ref-41" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> When the assembly met in 1727, Dummer kept the body in session for 165 days, demanding it act on the mandated currency withdrawal.
