This invaluable list of close to 2,000 persons who signed the Revolutionary oath of allegiance in Philadelphia gives the name of the signer, the actual date of signing, and, where known, the occupation and residence or country of origin of the signer. In many instances, the signer previously resided in another of the Thirteen Colonies. This list was taken from The Pennsylvania Archives, Volume 3. (118pp. index. Heritage Books, 2006.)

Excerpt from Names of Persons Who Took the Oath of Allegiance to the States of Pennsylvania: Between the Years 1776 and 1794 The Constitution of 1776 went into immediate Operation on its adoption, the 28th of September. The oath prescribed for members of Assembly was as objectionable as that required to be taken by the members of the Convention, and political dis putes waged warm and bitter. The refusal of the State Navy Board, referred to in the minutes of that body, to take the oath of allegiance to the State, tended to increase the excitement, and this, with the disarrangement of the associators, required the adoption of more stringent measures.
