It seems like most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were related as cousins. Or Inlaws of other signers. Just as I found many of our Presidents seem related as cousins. My personal theory is our forefathers came to this country, and had wealth behind them they already had enlightenment as a motive well most of them anyways.
