Likely this was simply a plot device because he was the last Signer to die. Our family got a lot out of discussing these points and my oldest daughter went on to read a biography of Charles Carroll.<BR/><BR/>I believe there are other historical errors too, in areas I'm not that well-acquainted with.<BR/><BR/>By the way, would you consider a link to our movie blog? <A HREF="http://love2learnmovieblog.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Love2learn at the Movies</A> is focused more on family movies available for rent through Netflix or other sources.love2learnmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548471887979257624noreply@blogger.com
