About Richard Waldron
Richard Waldron was an American politician and merchant and a major opponent of the Wentworth oligarchy in the Province of New Hampshire. He supported a continued political subordination of New Hampshire to Massachusetts and opposed moves to separation from this traditional senior partner. Through his friendship with Massachusetts governor and kinsman Jonathan Belcher and his positions of secretary, councillor, and New Hampshire assembly speaker, for a time he was "the central authority" in colonial New Hampshire politics.
