    Leonard Vassall of Jamaica granted land for the construction of
    Boston's Trinity Church in 1730. His son William (1715?1800) studied
    56
    at Harvard, where he graduated in 1733 and received an MA in 1743.
    William's brother Florentius later arranged for a marble memorial
    from London to be erected in the King's Chapel in Boston, com-
    memorating Samuel Vassall's stance against Charles I's extra-parlia-
    mentary taxation, and also the action of John Vassall in fighting the
    Armada.57 The timing of this gesture, executed during the Stamp Act
    controversy, is significant. Once war broke out in 1776, however, the
    Vassalls elected to remain loyal to Britain, whatever sympathies they
    may earlier have harboured for colonial grievances. The family's private
    business affairs were too closely aligned with the apparatus of colonial
    administration and regulation for detachment to be a feasible option.
    Because of his Loyalist stance, William Vassall was forced to return to
    England in 1775; subsequently, he suffered confiscation of his American
    property.58
