Biographical Note

Peter Dumont Vroom was born in Hillsborough, Somerset County, New Jersey, on December 12, 1791, the son of a decorated Revolutionary War Lieutenant-Colonel. After attending the Somerville Academy, he attended Columbia College in New York, graduating in 1808. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1813, became counselor in 1816, and sergeant at law in 1828. After his days at Columbia, Vroom returned to New Jersey, living in Hillsborough, Somerville, and Hackettstown before transferring his legal practice to Flemington. While in Flemington, Vroom married, then moved back to Somerville, where he would live for more than twenty years. Vroom was active in the Whig Party and the Dutch Reformed Church.

Vroom’s political career began in 1826 when, as a Jacksonian, he served in the New Jersey State General Assembly. He was elected Governor in 1827, and except for 1832, when his reelection bid was defeated, served as Governor through 1835. Vroom resumed his legal practice in Somerville in 1837, but was then appointed by President Van Buren to serve as one of three commissioners to adjust land claims of the Choctaw Indians. He was elected a member of the twenty-sixth Congress in 1839, lost in his reelection bid in 1840, and then moved to Trenton, where he became a delegate to the State constitutional convention in 1844.

In 1853, Vroom accepted a federal appointment as Minister to Prussia and lived in Berlin until 1857. Upon returning to the United States, he served as a delegate to the peace convention in Washington, D.C. in 1861. This convention was trying to resolve the issues between the North and South that eventually led to the Civil War. From 1862-1872, Vroom served as State Reporter for the Supreme Court. He died in Trenton, New Jersey, on November 18, 1874, and is buried in the cemetery of the First Reformed Dutch Church in Somerville, N.J.
