We are talking about Americans that could write constitutions and declarations of independence, not Americans who can barely make it through a tweet.

Benjamin Franklin. Without him France would not have entered the war. Besides even in his 80s he loved the ladies.

Just keeping it in the family-

Sally Heming's father was John Wayles (Thomas Jefferson's father in law)

While there is some debate if Thomas got her pregnant, there is less of a question that his younger brother Randolph did. Now how many of her children were from him is a question.

Buttons Gwinnett.

Not really, but he is an interesting founding father and his signature is one of the most sought after.

I have a hard time choosing though I think Washington is likely my favorite. He is said to have declined the opportunity to declared president for life and definitely started the precedent of only serving two terms (which continued until FDR).

Though he is not technically a founding father, I have always been fascinated with Paul Revere. He seems to epitomize the ideal American in entrepreneurship and patriotism. The copper works he founded in 1801 continues today as the Revere Copper Company, with manufacturing divisions in Rome, New York and New Bedford, Massachusetts.
