The Signatories of the Declaration of Independence

“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, 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 McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’”

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

I’m Robert Carpenter, a dedicated middle school math teacher and assistant pastor, reaching out in a time of unimaginable hardship. Life has thrown me into a perfect storm of challenges: I’ve recently begun treatment for cancer, which has brought both emotional and financial strain, and I’m entangled in a distressing legal battle due to domestic violence. My estranged wife has filed for divorce, seized our vehicle, and manipulated our lease agreement by removing my name, putting me at risk of homelessness. These actions have left me vulnerable, but I’m determined to fight back with your help.

Is This a Lie?

Since Timmy says that social media is lying on him, Tuesday night at 10 PM EST on TheRCTVNetwork.locals.com (subscription) I will prove why he’s called Arrogant Anthony and why he’s called Lyin’ Timmy. Trust me…These receipts are longer than receipts at a CVS Pharmacy. Let’s go! #COGGA22 #drainthecogswamp #cogequity #rctvnetwork

Happy Independence Day!

Happy Independence Day, America! It’s wonderful to be an American, where we genuinely have freedom. We must cherish and safeguard this freedom for future generations. Enjoy your freedom and have a wonderful day! #4thofJuly #IndependenceDay

If you only knew what I went through to wear this new black suit on this first Sunday in May, you’d praise God for everything you go through! 🙏 After losing nearly 100 lbs in the last year due to cancer and some stress, none of my clothes or suits fit. But God provided this tailor-made suit this week—no alterations needed. I’m grateful. I’m thankful. #Faithful #GodProvides #FirstSunday
