His election to Congress came on July 4, 1776, two days after that body voted in favor of the resolution. Carroll served in the Maryland Senate and the U.S. Senate. Following the deaths of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson in 1826, Carroll became the sole surviving signer of the <em>Declaration of Independence</em>.</p>

<p>Chase requests Paca write to Mr. Adams on a matter involving Mr. Pitt.</p>
<p>Samuel Chase was one of four signers of the Declaration of Independence from Maryland. Before the Revolution, Chase was a lawyer and member of the legislature. He was elected to the first Continental Congress and voted for independence in July, 1776. He voted against the Constitution during Maryland's ratifying convention. His legal career culminated in an appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court where his decisions helped lay the foundation for judicial review.

<p>Engraved portrait of Charles Carroll. "Drawn & engraved by J. B. Longacre from a painting by Field."</p>
<p>Charles Carroll of Carrollton was one of four signers of the <em>Declaration of Independence</em> for Maryland. He is distinguished not only for being the wealthiest of the signers, but also for being the only Roman Catholic amongst them and being the last to die. Carroll was influential in getting Maryland to support independence though he did not vote for it in Congress. HIs election to Congress came on July 4, 1776, two days after that body voted in favor of the resolution. Carroll served in the Maryland Senate and the U.S. Senate. Following the deaths of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson in 1826, Carroll became the sole surviving signer of the <em>Declaration of Independence</em>.</p>
