Sold – A New Jersey Bill of Credit Note, Signed by Signer John Hart

In 1775 Hart was elected to the Committee of Correspondence of New Jersey by the Provincial Congress. He then served on the Committee of Safety “to act in the public welfare of the colony, in the recess of the Congress”. In 1776, he was designated one of the officials to sign the new Bill of Credit notes issued as money for the state. He signed each of the notes issued for the western N.J. division of the treasury. He was paid 12 pounds 10 shillings and 10 pence for this service, which was about the value of 3 muskets. In May he was reelected to the Provincial Congress. On June 22, he was elected as one of 5 delegate to the Second Continental Congress “with full rights to cast a vote” for the state on the question of independence. He voted yes, and then signed the Declaration of Independence.

This is one of the 1776 Bill of Credit notes, signed by Hart and two other New Jersey officials.
