Spring, Robert, 1813-1876
Robert Spring was born in England but moved to Philadelphia around 1858. He is most noted as a forger of George Washington signatures, letters, and receipts. Spring developed his own recipe for antiquated ink and often used sheets of paper cut from old books. After his first arrest in 1858, he moved to Canada and posed as an impoverished widow selling family documents. Spring was arrested a final time in 1869 and died in a Philadelphia charity hospital in 1876.
