American politician
Samuel Paynter (August 24, 1768 – October 2, 1845) was an American merchant and politician from Drawbridge, in Broadkill Hundred, Sussex County, Delaware. He was a member of the Federalist Party, who served in the Delaware General Assembly and as Governor of Delaware.
Ранняя жизнь и семья
Пейнтер родился в Драубридже, в сотне Бродкилл, округ Сассекс, штат Делавэр, сыном Сэмюэля и Меритты Хаззард Пейнтер. Его предок, Ричард Пейнтер, прибыл в Льюис, штат Делавэр, до 1700 года, а его дед, Сэмюэл Пейнтер, купил землю в сотне Бродкилл в 1732 году. Сэмюэл, о котором идет речь, женился на Элизабет Роуленд в 1796 году, и у них было шестеро детей: Мэри, Элизабет, Салли, Сэмюэл Роуленд, Джон Паркер и Альфред Шокли. Они были прихожанами епископальной церкви Святого Петра в Льюэсе.
Paynter was born at Drawbridge in Broadkill Hundred, Sussex County, Delaware, son of Samuel and Meritta Hazzard Paynter. His ancestor, Richard Paynter came to Lewes, Delaware before 1700, and his grandfather, Samuel Paynter, bought land in Broadkill Hundred in 1732. Samuel, our subject, married Elizabeth Rowland in 1796 and they had six children, Mary, Elizabeth, Sally, Samuel Rowland, John Parker, and Alfred Shockley. They were members of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Lewes.
Профессиональная и политическая карьера
Как следует из названия, Дроубридж был местом, где сухопутные пути пересекали реку Бродкилл, примерно на полпути от Милтона до залива Делавэр. Именно здесь сегодня государственная трасса №1 пересекает реку Бродкилл. Отец Пейнтера, также Сэмюэл, основал там генеральный магазин. Бизнес оказался весьма успешным и обеспечил семье достаточное богатство, чтобы Сэмюэл-младший на протяжении 25 лет был директором Фермерского банка в Джорджтауне. Пейнтер, как и большинство жителей округа Сассекс, принадлежал к Федералистской партии. В то время как в других местах федералисты теряли влияние как политическая сила, в нижнем Делавере они были хорошо организованы и пользовались большей поддержкой аграрного, англиканского и методистского истеблишмента, чем ирландские пресвитериане, доминировавшие в Демократическо-республиканской партии, преобладавшей в совершенно ином округе Нью-Кэстл. Всеобщие выборы были конкурентными, но три округа имели схожее население, поэтому федералисты почти всегда побеждали как в Генеральной Ассамблее, так и на выборах губернатора. Таким образом, Пейнтер на протяжении многих лет своей работы в Генеральной Ассамблее штата Делавэр находился в большинстве. Впервые избранный в 1796 году, он служил в палате представителей штата на четырех сессиях с 1797 по 1800 год. Затем в 1806 году он был избран в сенат штата и участвовал в семи сессиях с 1807 по 1813 год. Наконец, он вновь был избран в сенат штата на сессии 1823 года. Победив своего соседа из Милтона, Дэвида Хаззарда, кандидата от Демократическо-республиканской партии, Пейнтер был избран губернатором Делавера в 1823 году и занимал этот пост с 20 января 1824 года по 16 января 1827 года. Во время его пребывания в должности наконец началось строительство нового канала Чесапик и Делавэр. По окончании срока он вернулся в свой дом и занялся торговлей в Дроубридже.
Drawbridge, as its name suggests, was the point at which land traffic crossed the Broadkill River, about halfway from Milton to the Delaware Bay. It is where State Route 1 crosses the Broadkill River today. Paynter's father, another Samuel, established a general store there. The business was quite successful, and made the family wealthy enough for Samuel Jr. to be a director of the Farmer's Bank at Georgetown for 25 years. Paynter was a member of the Federalist Party like the majority in Sussex County. While elsewhere the Federalists were declining as an effective political force, in lower Delaware they organized themselves well, and were far more acceptable to the agrarian, Anglican and Methodist establishment, than the Irish Presbyterians who dominated the majority Democratic Republican Party in very different New Castle County. Statewide elections were competitive, but the three counties were similar in population, and so the Federalists almost always won, both in the General Assembly and governorship. Paynter was, therefore, in the majority in his long years of experience in the Delaware General Assembly. Elected first in 1796, he served in the state house for four sessions from 1797 through 1800. He was then elected to the state senate in 1806 and served in seven sessions from 1807 through 1813. Finally, he served in the state senate again in the 1823 session. Defeating his neighbor from Milton, David Hazzard, the Democratic Republican candidate, Paynter was elected Governor of Delaware in 1823 and served from January 20, 1824 until January 16, 1827. During his tenure as governor construction finally began on the new Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. After his term ended he returned to his home and mercantile business at Drawbridge.
