This oversized document was a deed for 49,000 acres of land in Montgomery County. Dated August 17, 1795. Light edge staining. Some internal juncture holes due to the oversized nature of the document. Mentioned in the first lines of this document is Abraham Dubois, who was a silversmith in Philadelphia. Sealed and Delivered in the presence of Matthew Irwin and William Wilson. These were both notable figures during the colonies' struggle for independence. Wilson was a signer of Continental Currency. Also signed by James Trimble, as the first Deputy Secretary of Pennsylvania. Signed by Thomas Mifflin. He served in a number of important roles during and after the American Revolution. He served in the Continental Congress and as aide-de-camp to General Washington. Most importantly, he was a member of the Constitutional Convention and signed that monumental document. Of greatest historical significance to this large document is the signature of James Wilson (swooping W and all). He was a signer of Continental Currency and his signature on Continentals increases their value by several multiples. That is because he was a signer of the Declaration of Independence as well as the Constitution of the United States. At the convention, he and Roger Sherman of Rhode Island were responsible for creating the Three-Fifths compromise. He was also one of the original Justices of the United States Supreme Court. If you are so much as a passing student of our fledgling nation's history, out of necessity you must view this deed of land with supreme intrigue.
