Signer of the Declaration of Independence from Virginia (1738 -1789). He represented Virginia in the Continental Congress and was its Governor in 1781. Rare and bold ink signature, “Thos Nelson Junr,” on an off-white 3.75 x 1.25 slip. In very good condition, with scattered toning and soiling, and light show-through from writing on reverse. In his 1995 reference History Comes to Life, Kenneth Rendell places Hooper’s autograph material into the “very rare” category among the Signers—an echelon second only to that occupied by the virtually unobtainable Gwinnett and Lynch. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
