DECLARATION SIGNERS AND WHAT ELSE?

Those who have been reading my small bios of the signers of our Declaration of Independence may think; what else did they do?  Just sign their name and go on home, and let someone else fight the war that ensued?  Let us take a look.
David Barton's WALL BUILDERS is the source of the following as well as much more on our beginnings as a nation, read on.
Most of those who signed this most important declaration were educated, had been to schools both here and abroad.  Many were trained in the law.  Some were merchants, others farmers and all patriots.  The following were also warriors, fighters for this cause and for others as well.
1.  Thomas Mckeen served as a captain in the New jersey militia before the War for Independence.  In 1777 he became temporary president or governor of Delaware and was hunted by the British throughout his short tenure.
2. William Whipple.  Throughout his time in Congress, he served in his state's militia, rising to the rank of Brigadier General.In this capacity, Whipple was involved in the fighting at Saratoga against Gen, John Burgoyne.
3. Matthew Thornton.  He served as surgeon to the New Hampshire militia during the 1745 siege of Louisbourg.
4. George Walton.  During the capture of Savannah in late 1778, Walton was wounded,  He was then held prisoner by the British nearly a year
5.Ceasar Rodney. Rodney served in his state's militia for several years at the beginning of the War for Independence and was also president of Delaware from 1778-1780.
6. Arthur Middleton; Thomas Heyward Jr.; and Edward Rutledge.  These three South Carolina signers were each captureded while defending their state during the Siege of Charleston (March to May 1780) and were held by the British for over a year.
7. Oliver Wolcott.  During King Georges Was (part of the 1740-1748 conflict known as the War of Austrian Succession), Wolcott raised a volunteer militia.  He returned to the New York militia in 1771 and continued his military service throughout the war.
8. Thomas Nelson, Jr.. Nelson served in the militia of Virginia through much of the War for Independence.  In 1778, he helped pay for and led a troop of light cavalry which was sent back by Congress afterr only a month.
So you see that the men who pledged their Lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor did even more than that!.....Medicineman!
