  List of Governors of Massachusetts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is the executive magistrate of the United States Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The Governor of Massachusetts is the chief executive of the Commonwealth, and is supported by a number of subordinate officers.
The title of "His Excellency" is a throwback to the executives of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Province of New England, and Royal Colony of Massachusetts, all of whom, as royal appointees, were afforded this title.

 Land, Agriculture-Mitchell
What was described as a valuable colony was given up because of the number of proprietors, disagreements and disputes among them, their inability to settle the matter of quitrents, or annual land use fees, in South Carolina, and their fear that they would lose the colony in case of invasion by Spain.
Both Governor Alexander Spotswood of Virginia and Moseley recommended to Carteret that his one-eighth part of Carolina be set up as a single district and that the northern boundary be the Virginia-North Carolina line, since that was the only boundary in the entire province that had been fixed.
The 1773 assembly reminded Henry Eustace McCulloh, the agent of the colony, that the Granville land office had been closed to the “inconvenience and grievance” of the settlers in the province; McCulloh was asked to use his utmost endeavors to induce the Crown to purchase the district.

 Benjamin Franklin
In that year the prospect of war with the French led several of the royal governors to call for a congress of all the colonies, to be held at Albany.
The legislative assembly of each colony was to choose, once in three years, representatives to attend a Federal grand council, which was to meet every year at Philadelphia, as the City most convenient of access from north and south alike.
The governor contended that these should be exempt from taxation; the assembly insisted rightly that these estates should bear their one share of the public burdens.
