Representing Georgia at the Continental Congress

Lyman Hall (1724 - 1790) was an American physician, clergyman, and politician, best known as a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Born in Connecticut on April 12, 1724, he moved to Georgia, where he became active in both the medical field and colonial politics. Hall served as a delegate to the Continental Congress from Georgia, where he strongly supported independence from Britain. In addition to his political work, he was involved in the founding of the University of Georgia and played a key role in Georgia's revolutionary government. After the war, Hall continued to serve in public office, including as governor of Georgia from 1783 to 1784. His contributions to the founding of the United States and his dedication to public service left a lasting legacy.
