What Happened To Signers Of
Declaration of Independence?
At the September meeting of
William Mclntosh Chapter,
Daughters of the American Revo
lution, Mrs. G. L. Swan, Regent,
presided. The program was on
“What Happened to the Signers
of the Declaration of Independ
ence.”
This Declaration, passed by the
Second Continental Congress in
July 1776, formally separated the
colonies from England and pro
claimed their independence. The
Constitution, written 11 years
later, melded the colonies into
one nation.
But, have you ever wondered
what happened to those men?
What kind of men they were?
Mrs. S. L. Austin presented in
teresting facts on this subject.
The signers knew full well
what they were doing and what
the consequences of their act
meant to them personally. They
were not wild eyed rabble rous
ing ruffians. They were soft spok
en men of means and education.
They had security, but they val
ued liberty more. Benjamin
Franklin, Samuel Adams, John
Hancock, Thomas Jefferson (age
33), and Benjamin Harrison are
famous names among the signers.
King George 111 had declared ev
ery rebel a traitor and the pen
alty for treason was death by
hanging.
News of the signing spread like
wildfire. There were celebrations
from Newport to Savannah. For
the sake of safety, names of the
signers were not released for six
months. Charles Carroll was one
of the richest men in America—
his fortune was lost.
Carter Braxton of Virginia
saw his ships swept from the seas
by the British Navy. He sold his
home and properties to pay his
debts and died in rags. Thomas
McKean was so hounded by the
British that he was forced to
move his family constantly. He
served in Congress without pay
and his family was kept in hid
ing. His possessions were taken
from him and poverty was his
reward. Thomas Nelson quietly
urged Gen. Washington to fire on
his home in the battle of York
town because Gen. Cornwallis
was occupying it as headquarters.
With home, health and fortune
ruined he moved his large fam
ily to Hanover County.
Francis Lewis had his home
burned and properties destroyed.
The British jailed his wife and
she died within a few months in
jail, having had no bed to lie on
or change of clothes for months.
William Floyd of New York was
ruined by the Revolution. He and
his family were exiled from their
home for seven years. Honest
John Hart of New Jersey was
driven from his wife’s bedside as
the soldiers descended upon the
property devastating the farm
land. For more than a year he
had lived in forests and caves,
being hunted like an escaped
criminal. By the time the war
was over and he returned home
LINEMAN
OF THE WEEK
KENNY WAITS
We salute Lee Fambro and Kenny Waits upon earning the
accolade of Back and Lineman of the Week, respectively, for

40 yard punt return to the 8 yard line, and rushed for 57 yards.

a total of 15 individual tackles to spark the defense. He also
punted eight times for a 40.6 average.

his 13 children were scattered
and his health was broken by
anxiety and hardship. Philip Liv
ingston, whose grandfather
owned 160,000 acres on the east
bank of the Hudson, lost all his
business interests and his man
sion was taken for a British
Naval Hospital. Judge Richard
Stockton, after signing, returned
home to rescue his wife and chil
dren. They took refuge with
friends but a loyalist betrayed
their hiding place and in the
night the Judge was dragged from
his bed and brutally treated, and
then to prison he was taken
where he almost starved. While
in prison his home, furniture,
, library and clothing were burned.
He had pledged his life and for
tune to his country. lie lost both.
Arthur Middleton, signer, from
South Carolina, was captured in
Charleston, imprisoned in St.
Augustine for ten months. At the
end of the war he returned to
find the magnificent estates of
Middleton were all destroyed.
Other patriots lost all possessions
in this war.
The 56 men who signed the
Declaration of Independence were
for the most part a young, vigor
ous lot. After signing, some of
them soon experienced relative
obscurity, leaving scarcely a
trace behind but most of them
continued to render service and
became major heroes of the
young Republic.
