Deed - The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, December 24, 1792
An 1854 copy of a land warrant issued by The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in December 1792. The warrant grants Hyman Gratz the right to a certain quantity of land in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, which was surveyed for Simon Gratz. The transaction involved payment of "fifty shillings" per hundred acres. The document notes Thomas Mifflin, then Governor of the Commonwealth, as a witness, and Daniel Brodhead as Surveyor General. The copy was likely made in 1854 for the settlement of Simon Gratz's estate. The item features an engraved depiction of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's state seal at the top, along with ornate script and various handwritten annotations.
