Long Islander William Floyd dared to sign the Declaration of Independence for New York in 1776. In doing so he risked his life, family and fortunes. But he didn’t sign on July 4th! Most of the men signed today, August 2, 250 years ago! This talk will cover Floyd’s life and times and the actual signing of the Declaration, along with 3 other New Yorkers.
