Item Description
Beautiful Antique Indenture from 1828 between Frederick Elijah Thompson and Thomas Harrison. Genealogical research has proven that Frederick Elijah Thompson was born in London, England in 1797. Others are also named in this document which is 28 1/2" x 22 1/2". This is a treasure!
Generously Donated by Randall Scott
The term indenture comes from the fact that in early records a duplicate of the record was written on the same sheet and then cut in a jagged line. That way two parties holding the pieces of a document that “fit” together proved it was the legal document originally made.
There were no spelling rules until the nineteenth century and so you will see many words spelled in various ways.
They didn’t use punctuation in most of these records, but the writing is beautiful and can be read. If you love history, you will love this artifact!
