The Cemetery Where Ben Franklin's Parents Were Buried

Here is a pic of the cemetery Ben Franklin's parent's were buried in. The tall statue is the spot of their burial plot.

Also, in this cemetery are buried Paul Revere and John Hancock and family. The name of the cemetery is Granary Burying Ground. Those who were killed in the Boston Massacre (March 5, 1770) are also buried in this cemetery. 
  Did you know that Ben Franklin used a secret name and wrote stories that got published at his brother's printing place? When his brother found out the 'Silence Dogood' was really Ben, he got angry with him. http://fi.edu/franklin/timeline/birth.html
