American patriot (1736–1799) best remembered for his stirring, historic declaration, “Give me liberty or give me death.” Partly printed DS, signed “P. Henry” as governor, one page on vellum, 17 x 13.5 (slightly irregular due to shrinkage), June 26, 1786. A grant for a parcel of land issued to Leavin Barnes, assignee of Richard Owings. The document bears a paper seal at lower left. In very good condition, with intersecting folds (associated light toning; a few tiny holes), scattered soiling, and wrinkling (touching signature but not affecting legibility). The signature is otherwise clear and unaffected. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
