- Description:
- Memorial of John Barber, signed by Button Gwinnett for John Barber.
Because of Button Gwinnett's relative obscurity before signing the Declaration of Independence as one of Georgia's representatives and his death less than a year later on May 9, 1777, his signature is very rare. This signature, where Gwinnett signed for John Barber in a Memorial and Quit Rents book in 1767, is the only Gwinnett signature in the Georgia Archives. - Metadata URL:
