Guaranteed Authentic
Founding Father and Declaration of Independence signer FRANCIS LEWIS authentic autograph cut signature as, "Fran'is Lewis, Atty / To William Neale."
Of note, Lewis' handwritten documents and autographs are relatively scarce and uncommon, making him one of the rarest and increasingly difficult Declaration of Independence signers to obtain.
Lewis was a founding member of the Sons of Liberty as well as a signatory of the United States Declaration of Independence and Articles of Confederation as a representative of New York in the Continental Congress. In the Continental Congress, Lewis was instructed not to vote for independence, but signed the Declaration anyway. The British retaliated by destroying his home and his wife died after being imprisoned. He soon abandoned politics.
