Hidden discovered the gem that came to be known as "hiddenite" in 1879 in mines nearby. Until recently it was found only in Alexander County North Carolina but in recent decades it has been subsequently found in Madagascar and Brazil.

1800. Uncut untrimmed. Lightly foxed and dusted about Very Good. Samuel Brown had served in the 4th Massachusetts Regiment during the Revolutionary War. The regimental agent Africa Hamlin had failed to pay Brown and others the money due them for their service as Hamlin had been "defrauded" of the pay certificates. Nelson tries to get Brown's money for him. The Committee takes a tough line denying compensation on the ground that officers of each regiment had elected their regimental agent on behalf of themselves and the general soldiery serving with them; in so doing they assumed the risk of default.
