Description

American patriot (1736–1799) best remembered for his stirring, historic declaration, ‘Give me liberty or give me death.’ Partly-printed vellum DS, signed “P. Henry,” one page, 14 x 12.75, April 7, 1786. As governor of Virginia, Patrick Henry grants Moses Williamson, Jr., a parcel of land "containing One hundred & fifty acres, by survey." Boldly signed at the conclusion in ink by Governor Patrick Henry. The seal affixed at the bottom remains intact. In good to very good condition, with heavy irregular loss to the edges, affecting appearance but not the signature.
From the collection of Mark S. Robbins.
