 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 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.
The governor also serves as Commander-in-Chief of the Commonwealth's armed forces, a position the power of which has declined as the states of the United States have become less individual nations and more subnational units.

 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.
