Welcome to the first chapter of this fabulous (I hope)book!

Founding Father Ages on July 4, 1776

Marquis de Lafayette- 18
James Monroe- 18
Gilbert Stuart- 20
Aaron Burr- 20
Alexander Hamilton- 19
Betsy Ross- 24
James Madison- 25

This is kind of blowing my mind. Because of the compression of history, I'd always assumed all these people were around the same age. But in thinking about it, all startups need young people. Some more ages below, just for reference.

Thomas Jefferson- 33
John Adams- 40
Paul Revere- 41
George Washington-44
Samuel Adams- 53

The oldest, by a long shot, was Benjamin Franklin, who was 70 years old on July 4th, 1776. 

So. I hoped you enjoyed this trash. I love Hamilton. Not calling the founding fathers of our countries trash or the musical trash, but I am Hamilton Trash.
