[ Autographs ] RICHARD STOCKTON (1730-1781) Signer of the Declarationof Independence from New Jersey and member of the Continental Congress. Scarce A.D.S. boldly signed at conclusion and twice more in the text, 2pp. legal folio, Hunterdon Co., New Jersey, 1762, a lengthyand complicated court plea concerning an outstanding debt, boldly signed by attorney Stockton at conclusion. At one time this document bore numerous, very clean fold splits, later rather simply reassembledwith clear archival tape which has not toned or damaged the document in any manner. Overall very good condition.
