Samuel Adams
EASTHAM A document found in the archive room at Eastham Historical Society’s Schoolhouse Museum appears to contain the signature of Samuel Adams.
The piece of paper was an official recognition of the appointment of Elijah Knowles as Justice of the Peace in Barnstable County. It is dated June 7, 1785.
An article about the discovery was published earlier this week in the Cape Cod Times and noted that Adams was a pivotal figure in both Massachusetts and national history.
A delegate to the First Continental Congress in 1774, he signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776. In 1781, he was appointed lieutenant governor of Massachusetts, and became governor in 1789.
