Thomas Hutchinson was the last "royal" governor of Massachusetts. He was not very a liked man with the people and was referred to as a villain in the American Revolutionary time in history. One quote he wrote said, “It’s better to submit to some abridgment of our rights (as Americans) than to break off with our protector, England.” This is what made the American patriots hate him the most. In the 1750s he served on the governor's council, although not as a trained lawyer. He took another paying job as a judge and some viewed him as greedy for money. In 1760 he was made the Chief Justice of Massachusetts, a position he held in addition to his duties as the lieutenant-governor. His was house burned down when the people mistakenly thought he was in favor of the Stamp Act. At the time private writings were stolen from his home and given to the radical leaders. He was said to have been responsible for the Boson Tea Party. In 1772 he agreed to arrange for only "Crown" officials to be paid by the royal treasury. Thomas Hutchinson was born on September 9th, 1711 in Boston, Massachusetts. He was the great, great grandson to a famed nonconformist, Anne Hutchinson. His father was a wealthy merchant who sent him to Harvard. He got his degree at 16 years old. On the Internet I found that he was married to a woman named Margaret and had three sons and two daughters. He was an American Colonial politician, judge and historian. After the King’s War (1740-48) he sponsored a plan to redeem paper money notes issues by Massachusetts to veterans of the Louisbourg Campaign. It was eventually put into motion and probably made a more stable economy. He was opposed to many of the imperial reform efforts and clashed with the radicals, especially Samuel Adams. In 1754 Hutchinson was named lieutenant-governor of Massachusetts. In 1760 he was named Chief Justice of Massachusetts Superior Court. He was good at getting to the bottom of court cases. Hutchin
