• Notes

  Samuel was educated at Harvard. He vigorously persued independence which won him popularity in Massachusetts. It was generally agreed that he did more than any other man in Massachusetts to swing public opinion in favor of the revolution through his many newspaper articles. He and John Hancock were the only men excluded from General Gage's offer of general amnesty June 12, 1775. Samuel served as governor of Massachusetts from 1794-1797.
