[Cyraxx]

Hey guys, im looking for an answer to this question. I have had conflicting resources both tell me different, one says John Rutledge, the other says Thomas Jefferson. Can anyone with some expertise lend a hand? Thanks

United States Supreme Court justice with the shortest tenure on the court and years of service?

i would go with info from the SCOTUS web site, it seems to me that would be most likely to be correct

two documents on this page should have the info, i would guess
