Partly-printed vellum DS, signed “Th: Jefferson” as President and “James Madison” as Secretary of State, one page, 15 x 8.5, December 10, 1808. Land grant issued to Joseph Hawkins. In part: “That Joseph Hawkins of Butler Country Ohio…has made full payment for the South West quarter of lot or section number Four…from the mouth of the great Miami River…directed by the act of Congress, entitled 'An act providing for the sale of the Lands of the United States in the Territory north-west of the Ohio, and above the mouth of the Kentucky River'….” In very good condition, with light overall skipping to Jefferson’s signature, Madison’s signature fairly light, but still completely legible, central horizontal and vertical fold, mild toning and creasing, and intentional scoring around seal. The white seal is slightly worn, but intact.
During his presidency, Jefferson doubled the size of the United States with the 1803 purchase of the Louisiana Territory. As the nation grew, Congress implemented measures that allowed its residents to benefit from the expansion—men such as Mr. Hawkins. Ohio lands were surveyed and sold by the federal government, private individuals, and by the states of Virginia and Connecticut. Since parts of the state were surveyed at different times, Ohio was divided into areas called survey districts or land grants. Between 1798 and 1821, Congress allowed anyone the chance to buy large amounts of the remaining public land. A desirable document signed by two chief executives as America continued its expansion.
