Frances Hopkinson

Portrayed by Christian Johnson

Frances Hopkinson One of 56 Patriots who pledged life, limb and fortune by signing the Declaration of Independence, Frances Hopkinson gave hope to all by daring to believe we could live in a nation independent of a monarch, a nation with its own value and values. Frances Hopkinson was known as an artist, telling stories of his culture, singing his songs, acting as a librarian and designing what came to be considered the first American flag. Hopkinson touched the minds and hearts of his compatriots with his poetry, his songs and by his example, declaring, “My days have been so wond’rous free.” Selected to be the first federal judge of Pennsylvania by George Washington, Hopkinson was proud to serve his short 1-year term.
