1806 Land Grant Dual Signed by Thomas McKean & Timothy Matlock

A Pennsylvania land grant on parchment dated 8-30-1806, granting a property in Potter County named "Philadelphia" to Alexander Baring & others, and signed as Pennsylvania governor by Founding Father and Signer of the Declaration of Independence Thomas McKean (1734-1817). McKean was the delegate to the Second Continental Congress whose note brought his fellow Delaware delegate Caesar Rodney riding back to the Congress, to break the deadlock and swing Delaware's vote for American independence. This document was also signed by the first Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth, James Trimble (1755-1837), and by Timothy Matlack (1736-1829), another of the Founding Fathers who wrote out the formal copy of the Declaration of Independence.
