| Publisher Description: Christ Church Philadelphia and its Burial Ground is the final resting place of seven signers of the Declaration of Independence and five signers of the U.S. Constitution, the most famous burial being Benjamin Franklin. Also buried on church grounds are early American leaders, prominent lawyers, medical pioneers, and military heroes. In 1864, Church Warden Edward Clark compiled this book of all visible inscriptions in and around the church and at the 5th Street Burial Ground. |
