Description

Hanky panky, Early American style

Signer of the Declaration of Independence from Georgia (1741–1804) who later served as that state’s chief justice, governor, and senator. Manuscript DS, signed “Geo. Walton,” one page, 12.75 x 7.75, November 4, 1801. A legal warrant ordering the arrest of David Cauthon and Miss Wilky after a grand jury found them guilty of “living in adultry [sic] and Fornication.” In very good condition, with folds (a few short separations), toning and staining, and a few small holes and chips, none affecting the dark signature.
