Andrew Belcher
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew Belcher was an early colonial Bostonian. He grew wealthy on provisioning contracts during King Philip's War and later by supplying warships and outfitting New England expeditions to Canada in King William's War and Queen Anne's War. Using this wealth, he rode through Boston's streets in London-built coaches, erected a mansion on State Street in Boston, and purchased slaves. [1]
