1700réf. 000819Boston Massachusetts MA 1700. On offer is a superb and important piece of Americana specifically a handwritten deed concerning the very important geographic area of Fort Warren which defends the harbor in Boston Massachusetts and has done so from 1861 through the end of World War II. To buffs of the Civil War it was also the location where the famous Union marching anthem 'John Brown' was written using a tune from an old Methodist camp song 'Glory Glory Hallelujah!' and signed by Isaac Addington who served on the Salem Witch Trial Grand Jury and Adam Winthrop the son of John Winthrop First Governor of Massachusetts. John Winthrop 1588-1649 is perhaps best remembered for the famous sermon in which he likened the Massachusetts Bay Colony to a 'city upon a hill' a model to the world of social and religious order." Ref: Wikipedia. This manuscript document is dated Boston 27 Dec 1700. Folded into thirds Calligraphic initials. SIGNED BY ADAM WINTHROP son of John Winthrop First Governor of Massachusetts and ISAAC ADDINGTON clerk of the Grand Jury during the Salem Witch Trials. This is the original deed referenced by Holmes Abiel 1763-1837. Cambridge : Hilliard and Brown 1829. from the Coll. Mass. HiM. Soc. iii. 299. which states: "In 1700 Adam conveyed the island to his son-in-law and daughter to be transmitted to their descendants. The Indenture handsomely written on parchment is now before me. It covenants and grants the island to "John Wainwright and to Ann his wife during the term of their natural lives and afterward to the use and behoof of the heires of their two body. begotten or to be begotten forever." The island was next owned by their son John Winthrop Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy In Harvard College; and next by his sons Hines and William of Cambridge lately deceased. James purchased of William his share and a few years since sold to the United States about five acres in two parcels at the east and west end of the island with a passage way rota the one to the other for the purpose of fortifications. On the west end has been erected Fort Warren which defends the entrance of the harbour." CONDITION: signatures are strong and legible majority of the deed legible though with age-wear sometimes serious rubbing and fading discoloration some holes; certainly not in the presumed fine condition when Abiel Holmes held the document in 1829 but certainly very presentable with the red wax seal still intact. This document is a wonderful tapestry comprised of the strands of early Colonial history. Inherited by his son Adam it links the famous Winthrop name from his namesake Grandfather Adam Winthrop 1548-1623 an English lawyer and famous Puritan reformer in the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods through his great grandson Professor John Winthrop who was intimately connected to Harvard University's early history. The document is also witnessed and signed by Isaac Addington the first Secretary of the Mass. Bay Colony from 1692 to 1714 who additionally served on the grand jury in the Salem witch trials. The trials famously resulted in the executions of 20 people 14 women 6 men. PROVENANCE: Most recently from a private collector the present condition suggests this deed has long been in private hands and not an institutional archive. While in the 1820s the deed was possibly present in the archives of the Mass Historical Society it did not remain in the archives long thereafter and entered less protected private circulation. That stated Mr. Jeremy B. Dibbell of the Massachusetts Historical Society has kindly confirmed that this document like others that have entered private hands is not the property of the Massachusetts Historical Society. .

1793réf. List2998Charlestown Ohio County Virginia now Brooke County West Virginia 1793. Single two-page letter measuring 7 ½ x 12 ½ inches. Folded with small tears at folds some holes intersecting with text; overall excellent. A letter from Isaac Prince Robbins 1770-1846 in what is now West Virginia to his parents Rev. Chandler Robbins 1738-1799 and Jane Prince 1740-1800 in Plymouth Massachusetts. Isaac Robbins was likely teaching in the area as he mentions the "price of my school" and that the oncoming spring had "call'd the larger scholars away" to farm. He also notes that smallpox had been running through the area and inquires about the family's health as they had contracted the disease the previous October. Robbins also informs his family that there is "No prospect of peace while the Indians commit depredations as frequent as they do. Kill'd and took seven families at a station 30 miles this side Lymestone Kentucky Landing". It is not clear whether he is referring to "Hartshorne's defeat" part of the Northwest Indian War where the Northwestern Confederacy attacked Euro-American settlers near Limestone now Maysville-this attack occurred in 1790 though it is possible that Robbins had not contacted his family since prior to this event. He closes by ruminating on his own sin telling his parents "I have erred and gone astray point out to me the way that I shall ask forgiveness whereby I can be saved." This letter probably predates Isaac Robbins' following in his father's footsteps and becoming a minister. Of interest to historians of the settlement of West Virginia and related conflicts with Indigenous tribes. unknown

1805réf. 0009106CINCINNATI OHIO OH to TRENTON NEW JERSEY NJ 1805. On offer is a unique and gorgeously written letter from an lawyer by the name of Isaac G. Barnetwho has recently relocated to Cincinnati Ohio from England. He is writing to a friend Garret D. Wall in Trenton New Jersey. Garret Wall was at the time just a practicing attorney in New Jersey however he would go on to serve a long illustrious life first as a clerk for the New Jersey Supreme Court then as the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey then being elected a New Jersey Senator from 1835 to 1841 and finishing his life as a high court judge. In language that is often elegant and very obviously from an educated man the Mr. Barnets writes of many topics such as his recent departure from Trenton New Jersey to Cincinnati his new professional life in Cincinnati his old practice in Westminster in London England and the ease at which he finds that people can pass the Bar exam in his new home and the consequences this seems to have had. He begins the letter as such: The most difficult part of a letter is said to be the beginning but I have found it the easiest in this instance having already begun without knowing how to continue the fact is I feel in but an indifferent mood this evening and you shall pay for it by being obliged to read what will neither be amusing enough to ____ a smile nor entertaining enough to please. This letter will give you no other pleasure than that which a sensible mind will always feel on hearing from an absent friend. He continues apologizing for events that seem to have just transpired recently his relocating to Cincinnati from Trenton New Jersey: I hope you are convinced before this that my abrupt departure from Trenton was not intentional that neither you nor Mr. Pemberton were selected as objects of neglect but that the _____ of my mind on the occasion will be a sufficient apology for any apparent neglect on my fact. He also speaks of the timeless trope that continues to this day the observation that: The sentiments of the people in general as in all other Democratic societies appear very much opposed to the lawyers. He writes that this is even more so in his new home where seemingly anyone can pass the Bar exam and become a lawyer: The facility of admission to the bar has introduced a norm of worthless and ignorant creatures into the profession who would sell an opinion for a grile of whiskey and require themselves for a pint. Things in Cincinnati are different than in Westminster Mr. Barnet opines. Yet he writes I have obtained more knowledge of the law since my short residence here than during all the rest of my studies - I have no other way to employ my time than in reading. He finishes the letter with the usual pleasantries asking Mr. Wall to remember me to the girls and to all my juvenile friends - I will conclude by giving you my sincere regards - Isaac G. Barnet. The letter is four pages long consisting of two unbound sheets of paper. The pages are in fair to good condition showing a good deal of discoloration and repaired rips and tears. The letters must be handled with care. The handwriting is done in black ink which is still in good shape showing little fading or smudging. The entirety of the letter can be read easily and legibly.
