 Note, Mr. Ferdinand Jefferson, keeper of the roles in the Department of State at Washington, says, The names of the signers are spelt above as in the facsimile of the original, but the punctuation of them is not always the same. Neither do the names of the states appear in the facsimile in the original. The names of the signers of each state are grouped together in the facsimile of the original, except the name of Matthew Thornton, which follows that of Oliver Wolcott. Very interesting.
