Lot 47
Harrison, William Henry and Anna. Document signed "Wm H. Harrison" and "Anna Harrison," 2pp (1 sheet) plus integral leaf with docket, 12½ x 8", Hamilton County, Ohio, November 5, 1827. A land indenture between William Henry Harrison and his wife Anna and Moses Dawson. For the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars, the Harrisons sell twenty acres of land "in the Miami Purchase in the County of Hamilton in the State of Ohio…." Very good; light toning and soiling; the document has been professionally silked. The combination of William Henry and Anna Harrison's signatures is scarce. Harrison (1773-1841) was serving in the U.S. Senate (1824-28) when he signed this document. He had won fame as an Indian fighter and hero of the War of 1812. His exploits would help propel him into the presidency in 1841, where he would serve a mere 31 days before succumbing to pneumonia. Anna Tuthill Symmes Harrison (1775-1864) was the first presidential widow to receive a pension.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
