q signer Of the Declaration OF lndepend-
ence. Another branch produced Hester

and who married Miss May Clymer's I'M
Gle. William b. Clymer. -.

two daughters. These daughters nave
never returned. One Of them married
Scotch banker living ia Florence and the
other is the French Yiscountess mentioned
