from
Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
CORPORATOR. One who is a member of a corporation.
2. In general, a corporator is entitled to enjoy all the benefits and
rights which belong to any other member of the corporation as such. But in
some corporations, where the rights are of a pecuniary nature, each
corporator is entitles to those rights in proportion to his interest; he
will therefore be entitled to vote only in proportion to the amount of his
stock, and be entitled to dividends in the same proportion.
3. A corporator is not in general liable personally for any act of the
corporation, unless he has been made so by the charter creating the
corporation.
