Presentation: Meet the Signers of the Declaration of Independence
(The presentation and meeting this month will not be available via Zoom but we would love to see you in person at the library.)
Tuesday, June 10th
1:00 pm – SVGS Library 6111 188 PL NE, Arlington, WA
Sally Buckingham will be speaking.
Our business meeting and board meeting will follow the presentation at 2 PM.
Sally’s topic: Meet the Signers of the Declaration of Independence
Join us as Sally brings the signers of the Declaration of Independence to life. In an 1811 letter to Adams, Benjamin Rush recounted the signing in stark fashion, describing it as a scene of “pensive and awful silence”. Rush said the delegates were called up, one after another, and then filed forward somberly to subscribe what each thought was their ensuing death warrant. Fifty-six men from each of the original 13 colonies signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Nine of the signers were immigrants, two were brothers and two were cousins. One was an orphan. The average age of a signer was 45. Seventeen fought in the Revolution. The British captured five of them. Eleven signers had their homes and property destroyed.
