Description

Thousand-acre land bounty for a veteran of the Continental Army’s Virginia Line

Partly-printed DS, signed "Th: Jefferson" as president and "James Madison" as secretary of state, one page, 12.75 x 15, March 28, 1807. A grant for a 1000-acre parcel of land, issued to John Flemming, "a Major for three years," under the provisions of "An Act to enable the Officers and Soldiers of the Virginia Line on Continental Establishment." Signed at the conclusion by Jefferson and countersigned by Madison. Handsomely double-matted and framed with engraved portraits of both founders to an overall size of 35.25 x 23. In very good condition, with intersecting folds and moderate overall wrinkling; both signatures are light but legible. A desirable and attractively presented presidential combination with a direct relationship to the American Revolution. Oversized.
