Hi Hillsborough Co. Rooters, When I visited Boston this summer, I took the time to visit the Boston Tea Party ship. It was a lot of fun and I recommend it. There was a small museum and a nice display listing the men in the Boston Tea Party. I have never seen this list any where else, but I am sure it is in some books. I thought others might like to see this list. They did not have a postcard or booklet with this data. I am so glad I took a photo of the display. Several of the names may belong to my tree. I have stared them and if anyone knows who they are, I would appreciate hearing from you. Hope I haven't spelled your ancestor's name incorrectly... and hope you find someone who belongs to your family!! You may find some suprising names in the list.

About one-third of them were skilled artisians such as carpenters, masons and shoemakers. A much smaller number were merchants, doctors, clerks, and the like. The occupations of all the participants are not known, but he majority were probably apprentices and common laborers, Alongside participants of English descent were men of Irish, Scottish, French, African and Portugese origins. The Tea Party was also the work of young people. Two-thirds of those whose ages were known were under 20, including 16 teenagers. Only nine are known to have been 40 years old or older. Most of the men were from Boston and vincity, but some came from as far away as Worcester and Maine. Listed below are named of partiots recorded to have been involved in the Tea Party protest. Not all of the participants are known, as some carried the secret of their participation to the end of their days. Do you have a Revolutionary ancestor?
