Wow! That’s amazing. First, I see one post that breaks down the church affiliations of the signers and find out that one was a Catholic. Now, I find out who he was and how pivotal a figure he was in his time. Thanks for introducing me to a truly great man!

Thanks for the post. I will add some other Founding Fathers and early American links in a bit.
