Signer of the Declaration of Independence from North Carolina (1742–1790). Partial ADS, one page, 7.5 x 12.25, March 5, 1770. Hooper has penned the top portion of the document, in part: “At a Superior Court of Justice begun and held at the Court House in the Town of Salisbury, for the District of Salisbury on the fifth day of March, in the tenth year of the Reign of our Sovereign Lord George the Third…before…his Majesty’s Associate Justices of the Superior Courts of Justice in the Province of North Carolina. The Jurors for our Sovereign Lord the King upon their Oaths Present.” The bottom portion of the document is completed in another hand, accusing George Magoune of counterfeiting, with Hooper also writing on the back, “William Steele Crosier Craige.” Intersecting folds (a faint fold through the first letter of his name), a split along one of the vertical folds with a few other areas of paper separation, area of ink erosion to the text, and two mild patches of toning, otherwise very good condition. In his 1995 reference History Comes to Life, Kenneth Rendell places Hooper’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.
