Integral address leaf, measuring 9 x 7.25, with the 4 x 3 panel addressed in Washington’s hand to “Colo. John Cannon, Washington Cty.” Panel is also docketed along the left edge in an unknown hand, “G. Washington Lett.” In very good condition, with central vertical fold through the “s” in “Washington,” scattered toning and soiling, small areas of paper loss along folds, paper loss to bottom edge from wax seal, and some light creasing.
Colonel John Cannon's association with Washington extended from before the revolution until his death in 1798. He worked first as a rent collector for him, then a surveyor, and commanded troops of the Washington County militia during the war. After the war, he became a justice of the peace and Washington charged him to evict the squatters who were living on his land. This address leaf was delivered by Senator James Ross who was one of the three commissioners who negotiated with the rebels of the Whiskey Rebellion, successfully ending it without violence. Of the many places that have been named after Washington, this county in Pennsylvania where he owned land was the first having become so in 1781, the year Washington defeated Cornwallis at Yorktown.
