Lawyer and public official (1796–1875) and signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. Manuscript DS, one page, 7.75 x 9.75, March 6, 1855. In part; “To the Hon Chief Justice of Said County. Your petitioner William Menefee would respectfully represent that he is one of the securities on the bond of Lonisiune Davis, Guardian of George Ann Davis and is desirious of being reclused from any further responsibility for the act of said Guardian and therefore prays your honor Lonisiune Davis to be cited to give other security.” In good to very good condition, with scattered toning and damp staining, small hole to center of page, chipping and paper loss to left edge, show-through from docketing on reverse, and some mild rippling. Despite the flaws, all the text is legible and the signature is mostly unaffected. The Robert Davis Collection, read more about Robert Davis. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
