I have another idea, but it's someone else's turn.

Is it someone connected with the Mayflower and/or the establishment of the Plymouth Colony?

Well we don't know that this person wasn't an explorer, just that they weren't primarily known as an explorer. There are several people this could be, but I'll go with:

Roger Williams

If no, was this person a woman?

It occurs to me that we don't know if this person was a man or a woman.

Given the date range, it must be someone associated in some way with the very early British colonies in North America. However it can't be someone like John Smith because he was an explorer. Hmm.

Technically he was, but not within the exact parameters of the question about Austria asked in this game.
