    Levi Lincoln Jr.
    (October 25, 1782 – May 29, 1868) was an American lawyer and politician from
    Worcester, Massachusetts
    . He was the
    13th
    Governor of Massachusetts
    (1825–1834) and represented the state in the
    U.S. Congress
    (1834–1841). Lincoln's nine-year tenure as governor is the longest consecutive service in state history; only
    Michael Dukakis
    (12 years),
    John Hancock
    (11 years) and
    Caleb Strong
    (10 years) served more years, but they were not consecutive.
    Samuel Turell Armstrong
    (April 29, 1784 – March 26, 1850) was a
    U.S.
    political figure
    . Born in 1784 in
    Dorchester, Massachusetts
    , he was a printer and bookseller in
    Boston
    , specializing in religious materials. Among his works were an early
    stereotype
    edition of
    Scott's
    Family Bible, which was very popular, and
    The Panoplist
    , a religious magazine devoted to missionary interests.
    Armstrong began to withdraw from the printing business in 1825, and focused instead on politics. He was active in Boston politics during the 1820s, twice winning a seat in the
    Massachusetts General Court
    (state legislature). In 1833 he was elected
    Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts
    as a
    Whig
    , and served three consecutive annual terms. For most of the last term he was acting governor after Governor
    John Davis
    resigned to take a seat in the
    United States Senate
    . He lost a bid to be elected governor in his own right in 1836, but was elected
    Mayor of Boston
    , a post he held for one year.
