Partly-printed DS, one page, 12.5 x 15.5, November 9, 1827. As governor of Tennessee, Houston grants William Gamble "a certain Tract of Land containing fifty acres" in Hawkins County. Prominently signed at the conclusion in ink by Governor Sam Houston. The embossed white paper seal affixed at the upper left remains intact. In very good condition, with scattered small stains, areas of paper loss, and archival tape on the back of nearly complete fold separations. A scarce, early example from Houston's brief, 18-month tenure as governor of Tennessee. His later election as governor of Texas in 1859 made him the only person to date to serve as governor of two states.
