Potential founding fathers in an ARW 50 years later

In a scenario where the movement for American independence is not achieved until the 1820's who would be the potential founding fathers at this point?

Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, James Madison, Monroe, Harrison, Tyler, Taylor, etc
 
Aaron Burr, James Monroe, Thomas Jefferson (elder statesman), Charles Pinckney

I think this would actually be fundamentally fascinating to game out, not guess at

With 50 years more of British rule who is in their orbit, who is dead from alternate wars, who has won more fame than OTL due to these etc

Don't forget John Marshall & maybe even
John C Calhoun
 
Its also worth mentioning that the possible abolition of slavery, at least in the majority of the colonies, would change who would have the wealth and influence to take on any kind of leadership role. Perhaps it wouldn't, but that would be interesting to game out.

The people most supportive of the revolution OTL at the elite level were people a step from the top of power. Upwardly mobile merchants angry at the trade laws (Hancock), brilliant country lawyers from modest stock (Adams, Jefferson), military officers snubbed for their birth (Washington), members of a losing party in colonial politics (Livingstons, Schuylers, non-Quakers in Pennsylvania), etc.

Its very possible that none of our OTL figures in power in the 1820s-1830s would have been options.
