His son Andrew2 Belcher was a Royal Councillor, and the greatest merchant of his day in New England; his grandson Jonathan3 Belcher was Royal Governor of Massachusetts and also of New Jersey his great-grandson J onathan Belcher was Chief Justice and Lieut. Governor of Nova Scotia; and his great - great-grandson Andrew5 Belcher was a Royal Councillor of Nova Scotia, whose children settled in England, of whom a son, Sir Edward6 Belcher, was a distinguished naval officer, attaining the rank of Rear Admiral in the British navy.
