Colonial America: 1758 New York Treasurer's Bond
1758 Bond for the Office of Treasurer of New York. Manuscript Document Signed, "A D Peyster" on a bond for Isaac DePeyster, October 14, 1758, New York, NY, 9.75" x 8.25", Choice Fine. Light toning along folds and edges, repaired fold splits but otherwise a very pleasant document. Then, as now, people in positions that dealt with money were required to post surety bonds. Isaac DePeyster continued in the footsteps of his father, Abraham, as the third generation to hold the office of Treasurer of New York. Both Isaac and Abraham sign on the back of this document, along with witnesses Aug. Cortland and Benj. Helme. This is a one-of-a-kind, historic document.
