Stockton’s Recantation

Richard Stockton was my great great (don't know how many greats, I am 90) uncle, and my mother's family was always immensely proud of the connection. I now learn of this man’s recanting of his signature on the Declaration, and I am appalled. And after the British treated him like dirt, they offered him a pardon for this dastardly act — and he took the Kool-Aid. He owned slaves, too. Down with his memory!
