I believe he lived in Boston, Massachusetts since he founded the Sons of Liberty during that time, which was in Boston. Also http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1204.html says that he moved to Boston in 1750. I could not find anywhere that says he moved out of Boston, so I assume he lived in Boston in 1775.
