Item Details
Description
[MARYLAND] Francis Thomas (1799-1876) was a Maryland politician who served as the 26th Governor of Maryland from 1842–1844. He also served as a United States Representative from Maryland, representing at separate times the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh districts. In 1841, Thomas was elected Governor of Maryland, defeating challenger William Cost Johnson by a margin of 600 votes. During his tenure as governor, he is perhaps best known for his highly publicized and violent divorce with his wife, Sally Campbell Preston McDowell. Until that event, he had been a leading candidate for Democratic nomination for President of the United States, but the divorce seriously disrupted his chances in succeeding in the nomination, and thus he did not pursue it. DOCUMENT SIGNED as Governor, 1845, appointment of District Justices. Approx. 15-3/4 x 10-1/4. Also signed by Theodorick Bland (1776-1846) American lawyer, statesman, and federal judge in Maryland. Picture of him is not included here.
