John Winthrop 1588 - 1649
In the early autumn of 1630, Winthrop and his company landed at the foot of Prince Street from Charleston. Thus was begun the settlement of Boston. The spirit of Winthrop is forever a challenge to America:
"To avoid shipwreck and provide for our posterity, we must do justly, love mercy, walk humbly. For this end we must be knit together as one man. We must make others' condition our own, rejoice together, labor and suffer together, always as members of the same body"

Nicholas Upsall 1596 - 1666
Pwner in 1654 of the "Red Lyon Inn" at North and Richmond Streets. For giving aid to Quakers he was persecuted by the authorities and suffered imprisonment and exile. He lies buried in Copp's Hill Burying Ground. Embedded in the wall of the building that stands where his inn once stood is the oldest sign in Boston, inscribed with the initials of Timothy Wadsworth.1694, and his wife Susanna, granddaughter of Nicholas Upsall.

Cotton Mather 1663 - 1728
Theologian, historian, eminent representative of the theocratic rule which gave way before the advance of democracy. A distinguished son of the North End. He lived at the corner of Hanover and North Bennet Streets, and lies buried with his father, Increase, and his son, Samuel in Copp's Hill Burying Ground.

John Hull 1624 - 1683
