Signer of the Declaration of Independence from Connecticut (1731–1796) and seventh President of the Continental Congress. Endorsement, signed “Saml. Huntington,” on the reverse of a one page manuscript document, written in an unknown hand and “George Wyllys Secrety,” 7.5 x 6.25, dated October 1787. Document reads, in full: “At a general Assembly of the State of Connecticut holden at Newhaven on the 2d Thursday of October, Anno Dom: 1787 this Assembly grants to his Excellency Samuel Huntington Esq. One hundred and fifty Pounds, for the last half of his Salary as Governour the current Year. A true Copy of Record Examind By George Wyllys Secrety.” The endorsement reads, in full: “Recd of Treasurer [John] Lawrence, the Contents June 30h 1788. Pr Saml Huntington.” Docketed at left edge in hand identical to text of receipt, “Govr Huntington, Salary last half Year, 1787, £150.” In very good condition with intersecting folds, wrinkling, a couple of tiny holes from ink erosion, light toning, and show-through from writing on opposing sides. Documents from Signers are always in demand, and this one, with direct association to Huntington himself, is all the more desirable.
