Clay, Henry (1777-1852) Autograph Document Signed "Bledsoe & Clay" as attorney for the defence, Commonwealth of Kentucky Circuit Court, n.d. (c.1797-1805), 2 pp, folio. A legal document in Clay's hand, regarding testimony given to a grand jury, including whether or not there were "roasted Turkies amongst other things delivered by the said Wells said Green Clay's Overseer and by the negroes of him the said Clay…out of the waggon…on the day of the said general election…." The document is split cleanly at horizontal fold, easily repaired; otherwise, boldly penned and signed. Obviously an early legal case for Henry Clay, who would soon have more important matters to think about than roasted turkies.
Estimated Value $350 - 450.
