I came across a site on the internet that had the fate of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence. I found "one of our own" - John Hart.

Shiflett b: Bef 1867 d: Aft 22 May 1882 This is what happened to him following the signing of the Declaration of Independence: "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." Does anyone have the names of the thirteen children? Wanda, waitin' for Floyd to come and do his dirty work, in wet and windy Virginia.
