lot of 9. Includes: Corwin, Thomas, ALS, 1p, 7.5 x 9.75", 3 June, 1843, Lebanon, OH. Regarding legal case. PLUS printed declaration of celebration of the anniversary of the naming of Fort Hamilton in September 1835. PLUS 3 marriage licenses signed by John Reily, Butler Co. Clerk of Common Pleas Court (for Stotsenberg-Busby, King-Williams, and Bloomfield-Williams), 1825-1827. PLUS receipt for $350 from John Woods, signed by James McBride, 22 April 1837. PLUS certification of will of Isaac Morris and probate document when will was filed and executors named, in Common Pleas Court in Lebanon, OH, 6 May 1828, signed by clerk Jonathan K. Wilds. AND faded document that appears to be a receipt in settlement of a court case, 1859. Thomas Corwin (1794 - 1865) served a single two-year term as governor of Ohio, but held many other elected and appointed positions both in Ohio and in Washington, DC. He was born in Kentucky, but moved with his family to Lebanon, OH in 1798. With little formal education, he began studying law and was admitted to the bar in 1818. He had connections throughout the region, but seemed to have been especially close to the legal community in the Hamilton-Dayton-Lebanon (Warren, Butler and nearby counties) area, including John Woods, who so admired some of Corwin's speeches that he had his young son memorize long passages from them. Corwin campaigned with Harrison in 1840 and served as Secretary of the Treasury under Fillmore. He was a popular public figure in his day, and an ardent opponent of the Mexican War. He was in favor of acquiring the territory, but thought it better to do so by purchase or arbitration. Condition: Condition variable. One has burn hole, most with expected folds and toning. About average for first half of 19th century.
