Thomas William Galpin – U.S. Consul to Belfast – Autographed Consular Document – I

Description

Details:

Thomas William Galpin autographed official consular document, executed at Belfast and dated July 21, 1836. The document, bearing the printed eagle seal header of the United States and Galpin’s full autograph at the conclusion, certifies the authority and credibility of an affidavit administered in County Down, Ireland. It affirms Galpin’s role as Consul of the United States of America for the Port of Belfast and its dependencies, formally validating the administration of oaths and attestations under his jurisdiction.

Fine condition, with expected age toning, folds, edge wear. The wax seal shows partial loss.

Thomas William Galpin was appointed United States Consul to Belfast by President Andrew Jackson, becoming the first U.S. civilian to hold the American consular post in that city. His tenure reflects the early expansion of American diplomatic and commercial interests abroad, particularly in Ireland, where U.S. trade, emigration, and maritime concerns were rapidly increasing in the decades preceding the Great Famine.
