Robert Treat Paine

Paine was born in Boston, Massachusetts, a descendant of Richard Treat (or Trott) (1584 - 1669) who was an early New England settler and a Patentee of the Royal Charter of Connecticut, 1662. Paine attended the Boston Latin School, graduated from Harvard College in 1749, and then taught school and studied theology. He became a merchant and traveled to the southern colonies, Spain, the Azores and England. He returned home and was admitted to the bar of Massachusetts in 1757 or 1759, practicing in Portland (then part of Massachusetts but now in Maine), and later in Taunton, Massachusetts.
