Richard Bellingham (1592 – December 7, 1672) was a colonial magistrate, lawyer, and several-time governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony (1641, 1654, 1665-1672). Herepresented his town as Member of Parliament in 1628 and 1629, while also serving as city recorder. He immigrated to the Puritan colonies in 1634, and settled in. In 1641, Bellingham was involved in a small scandal for officiating at his own second marriage ceremony, and in 1665, he ignored a summons by Charles II to return to England. Bellingham pacified the angered sovereign by sending over a ship full of masts as a gift. He died during his third term as governor. He was immortalized as a character in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, as was his sister, Anne Hibbins, who would be executed as a witch in 1656.
Founded in 1660, the Granary Burying Ground is Boston’s third-oldest cemetery. In this two-acre plot are the remains of more famous people than any other small graveyard in America. It serves as the final resting place for three signers of the Declaration of Independence, nine governors of Massachesetts, the victims of the Boston Massacre, and many notable Revolutionary War-era patriots. Originally part of the Common, its name derives from the old grain warehouse that once stood next door on the site of the Park Street Church.
Notable burials here include signers of the Declaration of Independence John Hancock, Samuel Adams, and Robert Treat Paine; patriots James Otis, James Bowdoin, and Paul Revere; Boston Massacre victims including Crispus Attucks; Benjamin Franklin’s parents; prominent early Bostonians Peter Faneuil, and First Mayor John Phillips; and even a Mother Goose.
