ADAMS, JOHN
(1735 - 1826) Second President of the United States and a drafter of the Declaration of Independence, which he also signed. He later joined Franklin and Jay to negotiate peace with Great Britain. Partly-printed D.S. ""John Adams"" as President, 1p. folio on vellum, Washington, July 29, 1797 granting 1000 acres in Ohio to William B. Wallace, a lieutenant in the Virginia Line during the American Revolution. Countersigned by TIMOTHY PICKERING as Secretary of State and on the verso by JAMES MCHENRY as Secretary of War. Adams' signature is a tad light, heavily wrinkled and soiling to left margin, a few pinholes, otherwise good to very good condition.
