Jos. Doe (1776-1860) In 1821, Joseph was elected Somersworth's representative to the Lower House of the New Hampshire General Court. He became one of the most articulate leaders of the Federalist Party and formed a party known as the "Doe-faces". In 1826, he was re-elected and became the chief spokesman in the state for the business community. He was an expert to whom special banking questions were referred. After serving seven terms in the House, Joseph was appointed Justice of the Peace & Quorum in January 1829. His political tradition defined the forces of moderation, which became his son Charles' constitutional principle. Joseph was supporting the last stand in New Hampshire on behalf of government by gentry. He gained the conviction that the democratic process could only survive if wedded to the rights of property and the protection of commerce. This was the political legacy that he passed on to his son Charles. Offered here is a 1816 court document concerning Samuel Foss of South Berwick, Maine and Robert Butler of Somersworth, NH. Approx. 6-3/4 x 11-1/2 in. VG. The picture of Doe is not included with this document.
