"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Founding father and states rights advocate Patrick Henry document signed as Governor of Virginia. Dated 7 November 1786 from Richmond, Henry grants 900 acres of land ''on the South West Side of Cumberland River'' to Revolutionary War veteran Richard Anderson, a fitting document to the man who led his state of Virginia towards Independence against the British, exclaiming in a rousing speech, ''Give me Liberty, or give me Death!'' Partly-printed 14'' x 12.75'' vellum document is signed ''P. Henry'' to lower right. Remnants of red seal still present in the lower left corner. Minor soiling and toning, more heavily along folds. Very good condition.
