brltlsn lay In the vicinity OF Charles
ton, and 1t was In that city that the
sessions were held. On one occasion
Hayward presided at the trial of some
persons charged with treason. They
were convicted Of having held CORE
spondence with the enemy and exc
cuted in full view of the British lines.
This act especially, led to Hey
wards great disfavor in the eyes Of
the British At the same time he was
judge he held military commission
and was in active service. Command
ing a battalion Of artillery, Hayward
and Rutledge were together during the
defense of Charleston. In one en-
counter Hayward received a gunshot
wound, the scar Of which he carried
the remainder of his life.
Although in that engagement victory
was with the Americans, Charleston
was destined to fall. Then Hayward,
like his two compatriots, was taken
prisoner and sent to st. Augustine,
where he remained year. During his
imprisonment his plantation was raid
ed and his slaves sent to Jamaica.
Some were afterward reclaimed.
Although not Intentional on the part
OF the British, the trip from st. Angus
tine to Philadelphia came near being
the means Of Heyward's death. While
on the boat he in some way lost his
balance and fell overheard. Straight.
way vigorous efforts were made for his
recovery, but the time consumed was
SO great that 1t was only by clinging
to the ships rudder that he was saved
from drowning. Upon returning home
he was still further afflicted, this time
by the loss Of his wife. So depressed
was he by all his misfortunes that 1t
was considerable time before he re-
gained his normal condition and was
able to fully discharge his public du-
ties.
Although never captured, John
Hart Of New Jersey was nevertheless
made to feel the hatred England bore
toward all the signers of the Decla-
ration. Honest John Hart" as he
was called, was another one of the
men who at the time they indoFsed
the separation OF the colonies from
England had nothing material to gain
and much to lose. His farm, In Hun
terdon county, was large, and his
home was considerated as a seat of
but so situated that, in
the event Of hostilities, II would be
open to the ravages OF the enemy.
This Mr.. Hart realized when he took
his stand, and later even more fully
appreciated. When New Jersey was
Invaded by the English he was one of
the men particularly sought. His
family, by a timely and distant re-
treat from their home, were saved

to seek hiding. From one house to
another he went. not daring to stay
more than a single night under the
same roof. While thus trying to Keen

farm was destroyed, and his stock.

ton, but their families as we'll, had
become the objects of vengeance by
the British, and also that the reduced
number of the American army made 1t
impossible to hope for protection from
that quarter. Thirty miles from his
home, In Monmouth county, he left
his family in safety. Refusing to i'm
peril them, however, with his pres
ence, he went to reside with a Mr..
Covenhoven, a friend and patriot. But
fate was against him as, through the
treachery of some one, a party of Brit
ish refugees was informed of his tenn
porary residence.
Surrounding the house at night,
both Stockton and Covenhoven were
surprised and captured by this party.
Dragged from their beds, stripped and
plundered of their possessions, they
were started to New York. Stockton,
however, was first taken to Amboy
and there thrown into the common
goal" There, destitute and exposed,
he was allowed to suffer from the ex-
IRENE cold and want of sufficient pro-
lection. Later, when taken to New
York he was again placed in common
jail and subjected to similar treatment.
So great were his sufferings that he
contracted the disease which resulted
In his death not long afterward.
Not only the comforts, but the bare
necessities Of life were refused Stock,
ton during his Imprisonment in New
York. At one time he was left with
absolutely no food for more than "a
hours, and then given some which was
so coarse in quality. not to mention
scanty In amount, that he would have
been better OFF without it.
Fortunately, however, word of his
treatment reached congress A mes
sage was Immediately sent General
Howe. stating that no would either
have to treat Stockton more humanely
or expect retaliation.
Such i'll treatment as Stockton en-
dured in prison did not make up the
whole Of his sufferings at the hands
OF the British. While he was thus
confined his property was plundered,
his personal papers burned, and his
fine library destroyed, as were also his
horses and cattle.
When peace finally prevailed, Stock
ton returned home to find all in ruins,
his property destroyed, his finances
wiped out. So great was his poverty
that he was forced to call upon friends
to secure the necessaries OF life for
himself and family. This state of af-
fairs 80 depressed him him that his
already delicate condition was further
aggravated, and in February, 1881, he
died when but fifty-one years Of age.
Thomas Hayward, Jrs was another
of the martyrs. In TITS he accepted a
seat on the bench OF the criminal and
civil courts of South Carolina under
the new government This once was
not without its attendant danger. The

Fourtn or July,
If16, the continental congress finally
adopted the draft of the Declaration.
this country as a whole became a
traitor to the crown of England but
the men who later subscribed their
names to that document-written
PROOF OF their defiance of England's
king-became martyrs to the Decla-
ration! In order that this country
might lift from around her neck the
milestone of English oppression they
placed around their own necks the
hangman's rope.
Nor did those men who made up the
continental congress believe other
wise. When, August 2, 1776, the en-
crossed copy of the Declaration was
about to be signed by those present,
John Hancock. president of the con-
gress, said:
We must be unanimous; there must
be no pulling different ways; we must
all hang together"
Yes" BENJAMIN Franklin replied,
we must, indeed. all hang together,
or most assuredly we shall all hang
separately"
Hancock. as president, probably
signed first, and It is said that, as he
put his name to the parchment, in a
large, strong hand. he rose, and ex-
claimed:
There! John Bull can read my
name without spectacles, and may now
double his reward of $500 for my
head. That is my defiance!"
And John BulP' did read his name
In fact, he was at great pains to read
all the names inscribed upon that doc
ument. Then he sent out an order for
the capture of the men who had SO
dared defy their king
During the hostilities which ensued
there were several of the signers of
the Declaration made prisoners; men
who tasted to the full England's
hatreds-Richard Stockton, Francis
Lewis, Arthur Middleton. Lyman Hall,
George Walton. Edward Rutledge,
Thomas Hayward and John Hart were
all among those who in the true sense
of the term became martyrs to the
Declaration of Independence.
Richard Stockton, one Of New Jer-
sey's signers, perhaps more than any
of the others. suffered as q result of
his convictions. So great, in fact, were
the abuses heaped upon him that con-
gress, hearing of them, sent word to
General Howe that II the treatment ac-
corded him were not more humane he
might expect all Bsitish soldiers cap
tnred In the future to be treated in
like manner.
Nearly fifty years of age when he
signed the Declaration. Richard Stock
ton was in addition a delicate man.
Toward the end Of 1776 Mr.. Stockton
resumed his seat in congress after
having completed a mission on which
that body had sent him. Shortly after
his return, however, he found 1t neces-
sary to leave for home to find a safer
place for his family than his home
