DS, signed “Andrew Jackson” at the bottom and four times within the text, one page both sides, 8 x 13, May 10, 1825. Part of a deposition given by Jackson to Justice of the Peace Absalom Gleaves of Davidson County, Tennessee. In part: “The deponent answereth that Mr. Fulton…of the Bank was before the arbitrators, & believe brought with the Bank Book; but of this he is not positive, but the arbitrator had all the information that they and the parties thought necessary for them to come to a just conclusion…it was admitted by the parties that the bank stock of S. K. Blythe & Co. was transferred in the usual form…by S. K. Blythe, but his power to create a new firm without the knowledge or consent of the two defendants, J. Gwin & H. M. Cryer, and to transfer their stock in the bank was denied.” In very good condition, with rough left edge containing chipping and small holes, toning, and show-through from writing on opposing sides.
Jackson was a Davidson County resident and still serving as a US senator from Tennessee when he offered this deposition. He was also still stinging from the 1824 presidential election—one that historians maintain was thrown by the US House of Representatives after political maneuvering awarded a sufficient number of electoral votes...and the presidency...to John Quincy Adams. This despite Jackson, a charismatic hero of the War of 1812 and a former Congressman, having secured a larger percentage of the popular vote. A few days after Adams’ inauguration, Jackson left Washington, D.C. for his Tennessee home, and in October resigned from the Senate. Desirable not only in the turbulent period in which it was signed, but also in its multitude of Jackson signatures!
