    "[534] Gregory1 Belcher was born about 1606 in England and was probably the son of Thomas Belcher, baptized Mar. 30 1606 at Aston, Co. Warwick, England. … Gregory1 Belcher came to New England about 1634 [1639] and soon settled at Braintree (now Quincy) and on Dec. 30 1639 was granted a lot of 52 acres at Mt. Wollaston for 13 heads, his family. … He was made freeman of the colony May 13 1640 and was a selectman in 1646. In a deposition in June 1665 he calls himself aged about 60 years. (Essex County Court Files). … [535] Gregory1 Belcher died Nov. 25 1674. … Gregory Belcher was one of the eight original members, founders of the First Church in Braintree (now Quincy) Sept. 16 1639, three months before his grant of land, so was probably residing here already on one of the large farms where he raised cattle. In 1659 he stated he had been in the country about 25 years and had about 80 head of cattle and petitioned for a grant of 1000 acres but it was not given to him. He was in Braintree before Aug. 1637 when his son Samuel was born."
