William Molineux (1716-1774)

You are a Patriot, but you continue to do business with Loyalist merchants, even renting warehouses to regiments of British soldiers. You attempt to lead a march on the Governor's home in 1770, but your colleagues refuse. You are one of a few wealthy men who participate in the Boston Tea Party. Most of the
famous Patriots avoid being involved. In 1774 you
die suddenly from a mysterious illness, leaving many to speculate that your death was actually a political assassination.
