Billy Belcher, son of Nathaniel, was born in Braintree on September 27, 1767 and died in East Randolph on November 13, 1857. He was a stone cutter and farmer who married three times. He married Joanna Joy on April 19, 1787 and they had 2 children. He had 3 children by his second wife, Polly Wood. He married for the third time on June 11, 1801 to Deborah Belcher, his first cousin and they had 6 children.
Billy was in Captain Simeon White’s militia company in the War of 1812, during which they answered an alarm at Hull. He is buried with his third wife in the Union Cemetery at Holbrook, just below the hill in the front center where the slates end and marked by a marble obelisk.
Historian Harry Clifford Belcher noted that the name Billy appears on all town records and on the grave but “undoubtedly he was intent to be William.”
