About This Item
DS. 8 ½” x 4 ½”. December 7, 1775. No place [likely Massachusetts]. A manuscript document signed “Samuel Place” concerning military disbursements: “Capt Gerrish Sr Please to pay Nathl Pearson one pound five Shilling and reduct the same out of my next payment Samuel Place Decemb 7 1775…Moses Harvarne Bot [sic] of Nath Pearson one pr Breeches at fourteen shillings and eight pence lawful money…”. Colonel Jacob Gerrish of Newbury headed a company that marched from Newbury to Cambridge for the Lexington Alarm on April 19, 1775. Nathaniel Pearson was a private in Gerrish’s regiment and a Minuteman during the Lexington Alarm, as was Samuel Place. The document has irregular edges and some ink that has bled through from the verso; it is in very good condition. An interesting Revolutionary War document.
