Both Robert Hudson & D. Clymer were attorneys of the Pennsylvania Bar who earlier served together in the same military unit, thus most likely are thanking Benjamin Franklin and Thomas McKean, appointed Chief Justice of PA in 1777, elected 1784 and 1791. Thomas McKean (1734"1817) was an American lawyer and politician from New Castle, in New Castle County, Delaware and Philadelphia. During the American Revolution he was a delegate to the Continental Congress where he Signed the United States Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. McKean also served as a President of Congress. He was at various times a member of the Federalist and Democratic-Republican parties. McKean served as President of Delaware, Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, and Governor of Pennsylvania.
