Source Notes
Date of the signature of the Declaration of Independence, from the Library of Congress, The Philadelphia Historic Society. Thomas Jefferson, when an old man, said it was "late afternoon" when the document was signed. John Adams and John Quincey Adams said they signed "late in the day."
Sibly, an 18th century British astrologer, published the first known horoscope of the U.S. for 10:00 PM GMT which equals 5:00 PM, LMT, Philadelphia. John B. Early, an American astrologer, had written on the margin of his contemporary Raphael's ephemeris, "Declaration signed 10:10 PM." on the July page of his almanac of 1776.
(Sibly's chart, by 1785 was variously quoted as 5:00 PM, 4:50 PM and 5:15 PM; apparently rectified by different astrologers.)
In Astrology Bulletina July 1931, Lomax quotes Jefferson's records, "Debates having taken up the greater parts of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th days of July, were in the evening of the last day, closed. The Declaration was reported by the committee agreed to by the House and signed by every member present, except Mr. Dickinson."
BJA (British Journal of Astrology) May/1932 gives 12:10 PM as "generally accepted," adding that 3:30 AM is "traditional hearsay."
AFA (American Federation of Astrology) Feb/1965 gives 2:17 AM as "most frequently seen," adding that J. Hazelrigg gives 12:10 PM, Clement Hay gives 3:02 AM, and G. Hunt gives 2:00 PM LMT.
Vivian Bradford gives 2:40:18 PM LMT, quoted by Woods in Mercury Hour Apr/1980.
Manly P. Hall, after visiting the Library of Congress, said that he found writings that supported "between 4:30 and 6:00 PM" but without noting his source of information.
Dane Rudhyar gave a time of 5:14 PM in an article "The Astrology of America's Destiny."
Biography: Herbert S. Alan, "John Hancock, Patriot in Purple," 1940, p.228, "At last, about 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the 4th, the great white paper was reported ... and immediately ratified."
John Clark Ridpath, A.M. Professor of Belles-Lettres and History in Indiana Asbury University, "History of the United States from the Discovery of America to the Present Time" states on p.309, "The discussion was resumed on the morning of the 4th, and at two o'clock on the afternoon of that memorable day the Declaration of American Independence was adopted by a unanimous vote."
