American lawyer and statesman (1730–1781) and Signer of the Declaration of Independence from New Jersey. Rare ADS, signed in the text “Richard Stockton,” one page, 7.25 x 2, no date. A 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.” Matted and framed with an engraved plaque and portrait to an overall size of 17.75 x 17.25. Very faint vertical folds (one touching last letter of first name), otherwise clean, fine, bright 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.Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
