I think most everyone knows about George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, and James Madison and their roles as signers of the Constitution and their achievements but I thought I would start doing maybe a post a day about all of the signers, but mostly of the ones we don't know about. Right now the only signers of the Constitution I have even heard of are Washington, Hamilton, Franklin, Madison, Roger Sherman, Gouverneur Morris, and Charles Pickney. Here is a list of all those who signed the Constitution of the United States:

The book read about the people who appeared in the St George temple to ask to have their temple work done featured several of these men, and Rush Limbaugh has a pamphlet written by his father I think that outlines the lives of the signers. They really did stake their lives when they signed the constitution. Thanks for reminding me. I'll have to see if I can find the Limbaugh thing. I think Naunie Hyde gave my reading group a copy a few years ago.
