George Walton

Signer of the Declaration of Independence

George Walton began life very differently from many of our founders. He was orphaned at a young age. He first apprenticed as a carpenter. However, he soon educated himself and then apprenticed as a lawyer. At just 26 years old, his fellow patriots elected him to the Continental Congress. He was one of the youngest men to sign the Declaration of Independence. In addition, George Walton led a distinguished career, serving in all three branches of government and the military.
