Best Answer

YES

Most of the "Founding Fathers" who became famous knew each other and worked together.

Since Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence and was one of the signers we may assume he met the other men who signed it including:

John Adams (2nd president of the USA)

Samuel Adams (cousin of John Adams, statesman, political philosopher, governor of Massachusetts, namesake of the beer)

Benjamin Franklin (inventor, publisher, philosopher, diplomat, politician, face of the $100 bill)

Elbridge Gerry (from whose name we get the term "Gerrymandering"

John Hancock (whose large signature on Declaration gives us the slang of "John Hancock" for signatures)

He also knew many other prominent figures of the time including

George Washington (commander of the colonial forces during the Revolutionary War and later the 1st President)

James Monroe (a close friend - who also became president of the USA)

Marquis de Lafayette (another close friend - French Aristocrat and military commander of significant US forces during the Revolutionary War)

John Jay (President of the Continental Congress and 1st Chief Judge of the Supreme Court of the USA)

He certainly met a lot of other famous people but this brief list should be enough to demonstrate that - YES - hid DID meet many other famous people in the Revolutionary War.
