Of the approximately fifty delegates who are thought to have been present in Congress during the voting on independence in early July 1776,[17] eight never signed the Declaration: John Alsop, George Clinton, John Dickinson, Charles Humphreys, Robert R. Livingston, John Rogers, Thomas Willing, and Henry Wisner. (wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signing_of_the_United_States_Declaration_of_Independence#Signer_details))
Большинство из них либо убыли, либо потяряли полномочия, в частности Robert R. Livingston (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Livingston_%281746%E2%80%931813%29#Political_career) was a member of the Committee of Five that drafted the Declaration of Independence, although he was recalled by his state before he could sign the final version of the document.
Но действительно интересна в данном обсуждении роль и мотивы John Jay (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jay#During_the_American_Revolution). Having established a reputation as a reasonable moderate in New York... He attempted to reconcile the colonies with Britain, up until the Declaration of Independence. Неподписание Декларации не помешало ему далее стать Верховным судьей.
