Lyman Hall- 1724-1790 Wallingford, Connecticut Signed the Declaration at age 52 Died at age 66. Occupation- Physician, Minister Colony- Georgia

Hello, my name is Lyman Hall. I was born in Wallingford, Connecticut. I am representing the colony of Georgia. I make money by being a physician and a minister. I was born in 1724. I studied medicine at Yale College and graduated from there in 1756. Not long after that I moved to Georgia to practice medicine. I am speaking today, to tell you why you should sign the declaration of independence. Can you imagine being at work almost all hours of the day, every day? Well, that is what the British are doing to us, putting us to work. England is controlling are every move, and what we can and can't do. We should be able to have our own rights, and make our own decisions. The King of England is making all of these new taxes, more and more just keep coming in, leaving us bankrupt. He won't let us pass the laws we feel the need to make.
