9. Oliver Wolcott Led A Minor Role For The Sons Of Liberty
Not all well-known Sons of Liberty members had large roles during their reign in the colonies. Oliver Wolcott became a signer of the Declaration of Independence, making him a more notable Sons of Liberty member. However, Wolcott didn’t spend much time helping the organization fight the British before the Revolutionary War.
The most significant step Wolcott took during the revolution was establishing a shed on his land to cast more than 40,000 bullets with the help of his neighbors. He also won the governor’s seat in Connecticut and became the state’s fourth governor.
