Description

Thomas Hutchinson

Prominent Loyalist politician (1711–1780), and the last colonial governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay prior to the Revolution; replaced by British General Thomas Gage, he returned to England in 1774 and was never allowed to return to Massachusetts. Manuscript DS, signed “T. Hutchinson,” one page, 8 x 13, October 15, 1764. A document signed by Ephraim Man and John Stoddard concerning the estate and heirs of the Dyer family of Braintree. Hutchinson signs at the conclusion to “certifie that Ephraim Man & John Stoddard both of them persons well known to me made oath to the truth of the foregoing declaration after having signed the same.” Tape-repaired partial separations to intersecting folds, two large ink blots affecting portions of the text, scattered foxing and soiling, and some chipping to edges, otherwise very good condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
