Description

1776 court document—mere months before signing the Declaration

Signer of the Declaration of Independence from Pennsylvania (1742–1798), and one of only six men who signed both the Declaration and the US Constitution. Revolutionary War–dated ink endorsement, “Wilson,” prominently penned on the reverse of a partly-printed document, one page, 13.5 x 4.25, January 26, 1776. The document concerns a debt settlement between Joseph Brown and Thomas Douglas. Several clerical financial notations dated April 1776 appear above Wilson’s signature. In very good condition, with a central fold through the document, scattered creases, and light toning. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA.
