Did you ever wonder who signed the Declaration of Independence and what happened to those brave 56 men?  Listed below are the names of those signers and if you click on the names that are hot, it will take you to the Revolutionary Times broadsheet that has their bio and a picture. Add your chapter name at the bottom of the sheet, print them out and use them as handouts at your next meeting or public event. This list is a work in progress so come back often to see who has been updated.
