August 15, 1831, 2 shares, #14, issued to David Martin, and signed by E. A. Stevens as President. Issued, uncancelled, Fine. E. A. Stevens was the son of John Stevens, who, in 1815, petitioned the New Jersey Legislature to approve a charter for the first railroad in New Jersey. Edwin was an inventor and engineer who, along with his brother, worked on developing iron clad ships for the Navy years before the Civil War. It was Edwin's generosity that lead to the founding of Steven's Institute of Technology in Hoboken. This certificate was issued about three months before members of the New Jersey Legislature and Joseph Bonaparte were among the first passengers to ride on the initial run of the Camden and Amboy Railroad.
