yes he founded Pennsylvania
Well he was definitely an important figure from a historical perspective. He founded Pennsylvania and instilled brilliant new ideas including religious tolerance and a well advertised and well organized colony. However, it is also to be noted that he was not necessarily famous back then. He only stayed in the colony for 4 years and then became to close to James II who was Catholic and arrested for treason and "died full of sorrows" (quote from my APUSH book) so yes he was a famous person now that we look back, but not necessarily famous if your looking at the perspective of those in the 1600s
