Abstract:

It is a singular fact that none of the three North Carolina signers of the Declaration of Independence was a native of North Carolina. William Hooper was from Massachusetts, Joseph Hewes from New Jersey, and John Penn from Virginia, but all rendered distinguished service to North Carolina and the nation as a whole.
