The only colonial governor to side with the Americans during the Revolutionary War (1710–1785). Endorsement, signed “Jon:th Trumbull,” dated December 30, 1776, at the bottom of a one-page manuscript Committee of Safety document, signed by Abraham Ten Broeck. Ten Broeck orders that, "the Treasurer of this State transmit by Benjamin Montanye the Sum of Eight hundred and forty pounds…New York Currency …to be sent to his Honor Governor Trumbull to discharge the Accounts of the transportation of Inhabitants and Stock from Nassau Island…the Governor is requested…to pass and return…a Receipt for the same." At the bottom is written: “Rec'd December 30th 1776 from P.V.B. Livingston by the hands of Gerard Bancker Eight hundred and forty pounds five shillings and four pence New York currency pursuant to the above order,” and signed by Trumbull. Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, and mild overall toning, scattered light creasing and wrinkling, a bit heavier to right edge, otherwise fine condition. The Nassau Island reference is presumably the Bahamas, a loyalist stronghold where Fort Nassau is housed. Nassau played an important role in the Revolution, when January 27, 1778, Capt. John Peck Rathbun, and his fifty-man crew of the USS Providence seized two forts at Nassau, raising the Stars and Stripes in place of the Union flag.
