McKean, Thomas (Signer of Declaration of Independence) Autograph letter, to his attorney Mr. Oliver.
Measures 6 x 9 inches on folded paper.
He requests a codicil to his will concerning his son Thomas. “He has trifled and does not pay the money he is bound to pay me.”
Lawyer-jurist Thomas McKean stands out from the other signers in a variety of ways. He was the last to pen his signature to the Declaration, sometime after January 18, 1777. He figured prominently in two states, Delaware and Pennsylvania. He also subscribed to the Articles of Confederation, and he served a long tour in Congress.
