Elisha Haley–January 21, 1776

Portrait of Elisha Haley, artist unknown, created approximately 1860. Elisha Haley wasn’t necessarily a lawmaker at either the State or the Federal level who made such a huge mark that he’s become a kind of household name, but he appears to have been solid enough that he could get elected multiple times at both levels. I did discover, after recording the episode, that Haley is not, in fact, buried in Crary Cemetery but rather in the Wightman Cemetery, which is also in Groton. His wife and four of his children are also buried there. The post Elisha Haley–January 21, 1776 appeared first on 250 and Counting.
