Signer of the Declaration of Independence from New Jersey and delegate to the Continental Congress (1730-1781). Scarce ADS, signed within the text, “Richard Stockton,” one page, 7.5 x 2.25, no date. Legal document, in full: "Middlesex: John Tenbrook puts in his place Richard Stockton his attorney at the suit of Josiah Furman & Jared Saxson in a Plea of Trespass on the case." Mounted, double-matted, and framed with a portrait and plaque to an overall size of 17.75 x 17.25. In fine condition. In his 1995 reference History Comes to Life, Kenneth Rendell places Stockton'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.
