I stand corrected on my last post. A gentleman, far better versed in matters historical than I, has corrected me. There was one signer of the Declaration that did betray the cause after he signed. It was Richard Stockton of New Jersey. I would like to believe he did it under duress, having been captured by the British. The state of New Jersey apparently thought enough of him to have his statue placed in Statuary Hall in the Capital. A 1.79% failure rate is still pretty impressive!
Thank you, Francis, for pointing this out. Semper Fi!
