What is recorded here
James Smith is a birthplace in Ulster, County Derry, Ireland. Perhaps a boy ran through wet grass there before crossing an ocean to sign a new nation into existence. Maybe the air still holds the shape of his first breath.
Why this person is known: signer to the United States Declaration of Independence as a representative of Pennsylvania (1719-1806)
