Knox, Henry, 1750-1806
Manuscript document
Title: Deed
Deed that states that Hepzebah Swan and Henry Jackson made an agreement with Knox "and a demand of the fifty thousand dollars has been made upon me." The document reads that "HK" objected to this and noted that on November 29, 1799 "HK cannot pronounce upon the validity of the deed nor of the right of Mrs. Swan to give such a deed....HK is ready to acknowledge and he does so to Mrs. Swan in her letter, that he cannot pay the fifty thousand dollars." Mentions another certificate "proposed by Mr. Bradford" and "drafted by Wm. Sullivan."
