Jackson, Andrew -- Signed Land Grant Dated January 5, 1831 (1767-1845) Seventh President of the United States (1829-37). Partly-printed vellum document signed, ond page, 9¾ x 16", Washington, D.C., January 5, 1831. Granting 140 acres of land to "Peter Lowe of Orange County, New York ." Countersigned by Elijah Hayward as Commissioner of the General Land Office. With a blind embossed paper seal. Boldly signed by Jackson. While the printed text of the document has remained bold, the handwritten portions are faint but legible. Fortunately, Andrew Jackson had a large bold signature and it clearly pops. Only remnants of the seal remain. Lot also includes a two-page history of Peter Lowe, very well researched (including his military history), provided by the consignor, whose passion for research is clearly evident.
