Biography of LEVI WOODBURY

 
WOODBURY, Levi, jurist, born in Francestown, New Hampshire, 22 December 1789; died in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, 4 September 1851. He was descended from John Woodbury, of Somersetshire, England, who settled first at Cape Ann in 1624, and at Naumkeag (now Salem) in 1626. After graduation with the highest honors at Dartmouth in 1809, Levi entered the Litchfield, Connecticut, law-school. He was admitted to the bar in 1812, and practised in his native town until 1816, when he was chosen senate clerk of New Hampshire. He was appointed a judge of the Supreme Court of New Hampshire, and in 1819 removed to Portsmouth, where he practised law after serving as Governor of New Hampshire in 1823-1824. He was Speaker of the State House of Representatives in 1825, and was elected to the United States Senate as a Democrat, serving from 5 December 1825, until 3 March 1831, when he was appointed Secretary of the Navy, and held that office until 1834, when he was made Secretary of the Treasury, serving until 1841. During this period he refused the post of Chief Justice of the New Hampshire Superior Court. Being elected again to the United States Senate, he served from 4 March 1841, until 20 November 1845, and voted in 1844 for the annexation of Texas. In 1845 he declined the mission to England, and was appointed a Justice of the United States Supreme Court to succeed Judge Joseph Story. His nomination was confirmed by the Senate on 3 January 1846, and he held this office at the time of his death. For his part in the celebrated senate debate on Samuel A. Foote's resolutions "on the public lands." in 1830 he was pronounced by Thomas H. Benton "the rock of the New England Democracy," and he was also conspicuous in the session of 1841 in defending the independent treasury system, which was first established under his administration of the department, and in defeating the banking system that was proposed by Henry Clay. He published discourses, and was co-editor with William M. Richardson of several volumes of the "New Hampshire Reports" (Concord, 1816 el seq.). After his death appeared "The Writings of Hon. Levi Woodbury, Political, Judicial, and Literary," selected and arranged by Nahum Capen (3 vols., Boston, 1852).
