Adams and Jefferson died on the same 4th of July. Adams died first, and on Jefferson's death bed he said something to the effect of, "At least Adams still lives."
Also, I believe that most of the Dec. of Ind. draws its ideals from the works of the philosopher, John Locke. I know Jefferson was well versed with Lockean philosophy.
