The Loyal Nine were comprised of: Benjamin Edes, the printer of the Boston Gazette, Henry Bass, who was a cousin of Samuel Adams and a merchant, John Avery and Thomas Chase were distillers, John Smith and Stephen Cleverly were braziers, craftsmen who worked with brass, Thomas Crafts was a painter and George Trott was a jeweler. There is some confusion over whether Henry Wells or Joseph Field was the ninth member of the Loyal Nine, although the Boston Tea Party website lists Wells. This much information is available on the internet, and in books, but it takes some digging to find out more.

The first form of this word—or at least the first form that anyone has spotted—was “Corcas.” An essay in the 5 May 1760 Boston Gazette declared:

…certain Persons, of the modern Air and Complexion, to the Number of Twelve at least, have divers Times of late been known to combine together, and are called by the Name of the New and Grand Corcas, tho’ of declared Principles directly opposite to all that have been heretofore known… -Boston Gazette
