Notes for JOSIAH BELCHER:
Joseph Belcher is buried in the Granary Burying Ground in downtown Boston near the Cheers bar. His gravestone still remains" "was a wheelwright" as well as his age at death. The Granary is a very famous cemetery including members of the Hancock, Adams and many other well know families of the area. The parents of Samuel Adams as well as the original grave of "Mother Goose" are visited by literally hundreds of thousands of visitors a year. I visited the Granary Burying Grounds in 1993 and could actually see bullet holes of the top of some stones from snipers on Bunker Hill.
Founded in 1660, the Granary is the third oldest burying ground in Boston proper. In 1737, when grain was stored where the present Park Street Church stands, the burying ground was renamed the Granary. Along with Massachusetts Governors, Clergymen, and Mayors, three signers of the Declaration of Independence are buried here.
With its massive front gate, the Granary Burying Ground serves as the final resting place for may notable Revolutionary-era patriots, including three signers of the Declaration of Independence: John Hancock, Robert Treat Paine and Samuel Adams. Also buried here are Peter Faneuil, Paul Revere, Benjamin Franklin's parents and the victims of the Boston Massacre.It was originally called South Burying Ground because it was located on the southerly most area of the Boston settlement. As Boston grew toward the south, it was renamed Middle Burying Ground. Its current name comes from the grain storage building, or granary, which stood on the land where the Park Street Church now stands.
