Partially printed document signed by New York's Royal Governor William Tryon. Certifies Daniel Rogers as having subscribed to the proclamation offering a pardon to any rebels who came forward and took an oath of allegiance to the king. The declaration itself was dated 30 November 1776, and this oath was probably signed after that date.
