HE announce
ment that the
estate In New
Hochelle N Y once
owned by Thomas
Paine Is to he sold
recalls the theory
that this bold and
fearless thinker was
the real author of
the Declaration of
Independence adopt
ed at Philadelphia
130 years nso next
month Paine was chiefly known at
the time of the Revolution and for
some years afterward as a writer on
political subjects It was not until lat
er years that the religious writings ap
peared which earned him a reputation
as a critic of the orthodox theology of
his time lie was never an atheist but
his attacks on accepted beliefs alienat
ed many of his earlier friends and ob
scured for years the fact that his sen
ices to his country were of great value
Paine was horn in Thetford Nor
folk England in 1737 Ills father was
a Quaker and staymaker and Paiuo
Aas brought up to his fathers trade
and also to his beliefs but he did not
adhere to either very long He was a
Methodist preacher in London a to
bacconist at Lewes Sussex and an
exciseman before his departure from
his native land In 1774 lie had made
the acquaintance of Benjamin Frank
lin during the latters residence in
England as agent for the colonies ami
this statesmans influence found work
for his pen Avhen he arrived in Amer
ica The work that attracted the
most attention at the time and that
upon which his character as a patriot
is chiefly based was his pamphlet en
titled Common Sense in which he
advocated absolute separation from the
mother country It came out early
in 1776 and greatly influenced the
movement which resulted in the adop
tion of the Declaration of Independ
ence later in the year Whether he
wrote that immortal document or not
he furnished many arguments that

PAINK MONUMENT TAV HOCHEIiIiE K T
were used in effecting its passage As
to the question of Fames possible
authorship of the Declaration the theo
ry has been advanced that he wrote a
paper of similar import and showed it
to Jefferson and Franklin with whom
he was on intimate terms that when
these two were appointed on the com
mittee to draw up a declaration Jef
ferson went to Paine to get his draft
and using it as a basis wrote the doc
ument whose authorship is usually
credited to him
On account of his authorship of
Common Sense the American Philo
sophical society admitted him to mem
bership the University of Pennsylva
nia conferred upon him the degree of
M A and the state legislature voted
him the sum of 300 He served a
short time in the army as aid to Gen
eral Xathanael Greene and in 17S1
he was influential in obtaining loans
from France and Holland for the new
nation and so much were his services
in this and other ways appreciated that
congress voted him 3000 and the
state of New York gave him the farm
at New Rochelle where he spent the
closing years of his life The estate
was originally one of 300 acres Paine
died at New Rochelle in 1809 and his
body was buried on his farm but in
1S19 it was taken to England by the
Radical William Cobbett with the hope
of arousing enthusiasm for the repub
lican ideas of which Paine was the ex
emplar The monument for which
Paine provided in his will still stands
near his first grave The occupant of
the old farmhouse for the past forty
years has tfeen Wesley See
The stormiest period of the life of
this writer and sage was that portion
passed in France In the closing years
of the eighteenth century He was
received as a hero by the revolution
ists and made a member of the national
assembly but his republicanism vas
not radical enough to please the
He voted against the behead-
lng of Louis and was thrown Into pris
on by Robespierre He was released1
through theefforts of James Monroe
