Thomas Stone Autograph Sold
Thomas Stone was an American lawyer and plantation owner from Maryland who was one of the 56 Declaration of Independence signers. He became involved in politics around the time of the American Revolution by joining the Charles County Committees of Correspondence and the Annapolis Convention before becoming a delegate of the Continental Congress in 1775. He was also part of the committee that wrote the Articles of Confederation. Stone served as the chairman of the Continental Congress in 1784 and continued practicing as a lawyer in 1785. Tragically, Stone’s wife had become very ill by 1787 due to a smallpox vaccine she had earlier received and passed away. Due to severe depression and grief he passed away only a few months after his wife in October of 1787.
