John Adams once described this man as "the oddest looking man in the world" and remarked that his face was "not bigger than a large apple." This lawyer and politician, from St. Jones Neck in his home colony, was generally aligned with the Country Party – as opposed to the Court Party – and worked in partnership with Thomas McKean. He was commissioned captain of a company of Colonel John Vining's regiment of his colony's militia in the French and Indian War, and prior to his more notable pursuits, he was an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the Lower Counties. Today, there is an equestrian statue of him in a namesake "square" in his home state's largest city. Likely most famous for his (*) journey to a city just north of the aforementioned one, albeit in another colony, he was commemorated on the first state quarter. For ten points, name this historical figure, known for his 80-mile ride on horseback from Dover to Philadelphia to vote on the Declaration of Independence for Delaware.
