Elbridge Gerry is an interesting figure in American history. He was Governor of Massachusetts, Vice President to James Madison, signatory of the Declaration of Independence, and Articles of the Confederation. He was at the Constitutional Convention, but ended up voting against it. He was then elected to congress and was an advocate for the Bill of Rights.

I live in his former hometown in MA. We have a drinking club named after him :)
