To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is nowhere in encyclopedic or biographic literature even the merest hint as to his parentage. After a careful study of what is available as to his life and at the conclusion of exhaustive research, the inquirer is tempted to doubt even the authenticity of his name, with the sur- mise that both Button and Gwinnett were cognomens deliberately assumed for a purpose unknown to us. "We possess no means of knowing (N. D wight, Lives of the Signers, page 358) the history of Mr. Gwinnett's early ...life. It is probable however, that it was distin- guished by nothing very remarkable." Lossing in his Lives of the Signers, (page 227) tells US: "The pecuniary means of his parents were limited, yet they managed to give him a good, common education." N. D wight, Esq., in his Lives of the Signers, (page 358) says ' ' His parents were respectable, and though their pecuniary circumstances were moderate, they gave him the means of obtaining an excellent education." Dr. Goodrich, in his Lives, makes a mere shifting of w^ords, when he whites (page 452) "His parents were respectable in life, and 5 gave their son as good an education as their moderate circumstances would allow." A statement in an official publication of ,the United States Government' informs us that young Gwinnett pur- sued an academic course, although there is no other authority for the assertion.
