About Me
Paragraph 1  I was born in 1711, I am from Boston, and I have 12 siblings. I entered Harvard college at the age of twelve and I graduated in 1727. I became a merchant selling lots of goods. I will forever be faithful to Great Britain. I learned about politics in 1732. I married my wife in 1734 and her name is Margaret. My parents names are Thomas and Sarah Hutchinson. My name is Thomas Hutchinson and this is my story. Paragraph 2

I also have 12 children and only five have made it to adulthood.I was the Royal Governor from 1769 to 1774. I have been mob attacked before in 1770 because of the stamp act. I was trying to keep the peace between the colonies and Great Britain while I was in office. In 1737 I got into politics and became the Boston selectman and later in the that year I sat in the General Court.

Paragraph 3 When the Sugar act was being discussed proposals were sent forward to me. The govenor, at the time, decided to just tax them. The so called “patriots” got mad and protested. My mansion unfortunately got mob attacked. The stamp master was responsible the “patriots” said. I did not believe that it was the stamp master’s fault. I think the colonies should not have been taxed as I wrote.
