John Witherspoon, a signer of the Declaration of Independence named his farm Tusculum. Was he a reincarnation of Cicero?I asked this question of the Cherubim to search the Universal Akashic Records for the answer, because Tusculum was the name that Cicero gave his home in Rome. www.CarolynEvers.com
Indeed he was.
He carried the same beliefs that he held while he was an orator in Rome. He believed that the people should rule directly under the guidance of the Senate. He had carried over some of those great sentiments into his life as John Witherspoon.
When he came to Earth in that incarnation, he planned to serve his country and in that service he would place in the memory banks of those early independent thinking leaders, the higher elements of the spiritual life.
Many of the signers of the Declaration of Independence came with the soul held inspiration of freedom for all and also a responsibility to the state.
This was a bleed through of his beliefs as Cicero as in that time in Rome true patriots believed in working to support the state through their efforts and in that service serve all those who lived under the rules of that sate. So he was first and foremost a patriot, and secondly, one who held the belief that humans were equal and in that equality reflected the love of their Maker.

I was researching the histories of the signers of the Declaration of Independence for my radio show on July 4th www.BBSRadio.com. John Witherspoon was a clergyman who joined the colonies in 1768 as president of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton).
He received the finest education available to a bright young gentleman of that era. He attended preparatory school in Haddington Scotland. He attained a Master of Arts at Edinburgh, then four years of divinity school. He then was awarded a Doctorate of Divinity from the University of St. Andrews. The College of New Jersey needed a first rate scholar to serve as its first president. He emigrated to New Jersey and enjoyed great success at the College of New Jersey. He turned it into a very successful institution and was a very popular man as a result.
He wrote frequent essays on subjects of interest to the colonies. At first he abstained from political concerns, but he came to support the revolutionary cause, accepting appointment to the committees of correspondence and safety in early 1776. He was elected to the Continental Congress in time to vote for the Resolution for Independence then voted for the Declaration of Independence. In that debate, another man declared that, “the country was not ripe for such a declaration”. John Witherspoon answered that in his opinion it “was not only ripe for the measure, but in danger of rotting for the want of it.”
In November, 1776 he shut down and then evacuated the College of New Jersey at the approach of British forces. The British occupied the area and did much damage to the college, nearly destroying it. After the war, Witherspoon devoted his life to rebuilding the College. He died on his farm, “Tusculum” just outside of Princeton in November of 1794.
