Guess Who

He was the only well-known "mainstream" Founding Father to have been born off the American continent.

He fought during the American Revolution, playing leading roles in the Battles of Princeton, Trenton, and Yorktown.

He is considered by many authorities (and myself) to be one of those individuals most responsible for our having the United States Constitution.

And finally, he was born on this day, January 11, although the year of his birth is rather disputed.

Any guesses? Go ahead and take a try. I'll post the answer in a day. :)

    Yes, Mom; you're right! It is "Hammy"!

    A prize? Oh, well, I didn't think about that! :S

    It would probably be easy to give a prize to you, since I don't have to mail you anything! :D
