Signer of the Declaration of Independence from Virginia (1726-1791). Harrison was the father of President William Henry Harrison and great-grandfather of President Benjamin Harrison. Partly-printed DS, signed “Benj Harrison,” one page, 13 x 16, November 20, 1784. Harrison, as Governor of Virginia, grants Theophilus Phillips “Five Hundred Acres…in the County of Monongalia on Brush Creek…Branch of Hugh’s River.” Signed at the conclusion by Harrison. In fair condition, with entire document having been professionally silked, intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, scattered areas of paper loss, lightly affecting some areas of text, lower portion of “j” in “Benj” missing, show-through from soiling on reverse, and signature a bit light, but still legible. The seal is missing. Phillips (1743-1789) was a Colonel in the Monongalia County, Virginia, Militia during the Revolutionary War.
