Americas Founding Fathers

These profiles have basic information, and at least one source, but they need a little fleshing out. Information should be available on the internet. Concentrate on the Genealogical facts, ie. dates, parents, children. Feel free to write bios if you want, but you can just put in a link to someone else's bio or some "Google" "Archive" type books on the person.

If you want a basic example see William Duer, or something a little more elaborate Edward Biddle. In addition there are pictures: The Signing of The Declaration of Independence at Ross-1187-2.jpg Second Continental Congress voting on the United States Declaration of Independence Biddle-421.jpg Drafting of the Articles of Confederation Adams-16503.jpg These can be used if you can't find public domain pictures of the individuals themselves.

This may be helpful for wives. McKenney, Janice E. Women of the Constitution: Wives of the Signers. (p.14) Daughters of the American Revolution. District of Columbia: Rowman & Littlefield, 2013.

This category is managed by the 1776 Project in association with the Categorization Project. For assistance with this or related categories ask in G2G making sure to tag your question with both categorization and 1776.
