Legal Petition for a Writ of Attachment Signed by George Walton
Grade: VF    

---

Feb. 23, 1785. Signed twice by Nathaniel Pendleton. Also signed by Seth John Cuthbert. Fold tears and stains. Seal at upper left. Below that is the signature of George Walton in his capacity as Justice of the Peace. Walton is best known as a signer of the Declaration of Independence. His is quite a rare signature on currency and the notes tend to sell in the thousands of dollars when they do appear with his autograph. Walton had a expansive political history as he served twice as the Governor of Georgia, as Chief Justice of Georgia, and finally as a United States senator. It may be a long time before another document with George Walton's autograph appears.
