Poor Richardâs Almanack is published Franklin was born in Boston in 1706 and was apprenticed to his brother, a printer, at age 12. In 1729, Franklin became the official printer of currency for the colony of Pennsylvania. He began publishing Poor Richard’s, as well as the Pennsylvania Gazette, one of the colonies’ first and best newspapers. By 1748, Franklin had become more interested in inventions and science than publishing. He spent time in London representing Pennsylvania in its dispute with England and later spent time in France.

That is why the Declaration has the words, “IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776,” at its top, because that is the day the approved last version was signed in Philadelphia. On July 8, 1776, Colonel John Nixon of Philadelphia read a printed Declaration of Independence to the public for the first time on what is now called Independence Square.

- The first name of John's wife was Jane, and it is believed she was a daughter of John Greer. Interestingly, a John Greer also petitioned for land on Duncan's Creek for six persons in his family the same week that John McCrary made his original request. Perhaps the McCrary and Greer families had traveled together down the Shenandoah Balley to South Carolina. John was joined by other McCrary's, supposedly his brothers, and by 1763 there was also an Andrew, Thomas, and Robert McCrary in the Duncan's Creek settlement.
