Description
This is a very neat, original, antique document from 1781 that reads:State of Connecticut,
Pay-Table Office, Hartford, Oct 9
th
1781.
Sir,
Pay unto Ralph Pomeroy, Efq. D. & M. or Order,
Three Pounds in Lawful Silver Money, out of the Tax of Two Shillings and Six Pence on the Pound, granted by the General Affembly in May laft, and charge the State.
John Lawrence, Efq.
Treafurer
It was signed by three people: Elizabeth Mateo, William Mofeley (?), and Meg Moger (?). The document is in excellent condition but you can see a horizontal and a vertical fold as this was probably originally folded and carried in a wallet. The document measures 3-5/8" x 6-5/8". I was told that this was most likely a pay document to a soldier during the Revolutionary War. I have not had it out of the frame but I will guarantee its authenticity 100%.
