"it is often assumed that characteristically American spellings were invented by Noah Webster. He was very influential in popularizing certain spellings in the United States, but he did not originate them. Rather [...] he chose already existing options such as center, color and check for the simplicity, analogy or etymology" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences

Either way he didn't change the spellings he popularized them..

"Webster did attempt to introduce some reformed spellings, as did the Simplified Spelling Board in the early 20th century, but most were not adopted."
