USA 250 Picture from 2013 – A view of Boston at sunrise from Winthrop Massachusetts. Winthrop Massachusetts was named for John Withrop, born in England on this date in 1588. Winthrop led the Puritans to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630, serving multiple terms as the colony’s first governor. Also, on this date in 1737, John Hancock was born in Braintree (Quincy) Massachusetts. Hancock would be immortalized with his bold signature on the Declaration of Independence as well as being the first Governor of Massachusetts. #USA250 #WinthropMassachusetts #MassachusettsBayColony #JohnWinthrop #Boston #Sunrise #JohnHancock
