Solomon Southwick (American Revolution)
Solomon Southwick (1731- December 23, 1797) was a Newport, Rhode Island printer and newspaper publisher. He was a prominent Patriot during the American Revolution, and printed some of the first copies of the Declaration of Independence after its adoption in 1776.
==Early life==
Solomon Southwick was born in Newport in 1731. At an early age he attracted the attention of Henry Collins, a wealthy merchant and philanthropist, who decided to fund Southwick’s college education. Southwick entered the College of Philadelphia (now the University of Pennsylvania) in 1754, as a member of its first graduating class, the Class of 1757.〔James Moore Caller, Maria A. Ober, (Genealogy of the Descendants of Lawrence and Cassandra Southwick ), 1881, page 88〕〔Isaiah Thomas, Benjamin Franklin Thomas, (The History of Printing in America ), Volume 5, 1874, page 196〕
He left the college before its first commencement, but received an honorary Bachelor of Arts degree based on his accomplishments in Mathematics and other technical subjects.〔University of Pennsylvania, (Biographical Catalogue of the Matriculates of the University of Pennsylvania ), 1894, page 3〕
Southwick returned to Rhode Island and taught school for several years before beginning a career as a merchant.〔William Paine Sheffield, (Historical Address of the City of Newport Delivered July 4th, 1876 ), 1876, page xi〕
