Button Gwinnett

Button Gwinnett (1735 – May 19, 1777) was an English-born American political leader and the second governor of Georgia. He was also a brewer and founder of the namesake Gwinnett Brewery in Boston.

Background
Button Gwinnett was born in 1735 in Gloucestershire, England to Welsh parents. In 1762, he moved to the United States and became a brewer, and subsequently founded the Gwinnett Brewery in Boston.

As a representative of Georgia to the Continental Congress, Gwinnett was the second of the signatories on the United States Declaration of Independence. In 1777, he was killed in a duel by a rival, Lachlan McIntosh, following a dispute.

Button Gwinnett is only mentioned in Fallout 4, as the namesake for a popular brewery in Boston (bottles of Gwinnett ale, pilsners and stouts are commonly found all over the Commonwealth). This is likely a homage to Samuel Adams and the Boston-based brewery whose beers bear his name.
