Description
Signer John Witherspoon graduates future Continental Army officer Aaron Ogden from the College of New Jersey (Princeton)
John Witherspoon Rare Document Signed "Joannes
Witherspoon". One page vellum, 9.75" x 8", dated 1773. The
document is a partly-printed diploma awarded to Aaron Ogden by the
College of New Jersey, now known as Princeton University. The
diploma is printed in Latin and contains the signatures of six
other college officials and professors. Aaron Ogden (1756-1839)
served in the Revolutionary War as Captain of Light Infantry under
the Marquis de Lafayette. He was chosen by George Washington to
approach Sir Henry Clinton with a proposal to exchange Major André
for Benedict Arnold. General soiling, and two holes in the vellum;
otherwise, in good condition. The signature is dark. John
Witherspoon is one of the rarest of the fifty-six signers of the
Declaration of Independence; this document, with such an
outstanding Revolutionary War association, is especially
desirable.Shipping, Taxes, Terms and Bidding
