Description

Signer of the Declaration of Independence from Massachusetts (1744–1814) who later served as vice president under James Madison. His name entered the language as a result of his support of politically advantageous redistricting, which became known as 'gerrymandering.' Partly-printed DS, signed “E. Gerry,” one page, 9.25 x 14.75, October 22, 1810. As governor of Massachusetts, Gerry appoints Joshua Moody of Saco, York County, "to be Coroner in our County of York." Neatly signed in the left margin in ink by Governor Elbridge Gerry, and countersigned at the conclusion by Secretary of State Benjamin Homans. The embossed white paper seal affixed at the head remains intact. In very good to fine condition, with repairs to a few short edge tears, and some minor paper loss along the intersecting folds. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from JSA.
