Partly printed document secretarily completed in manuscript. Signed by James Monroe (1758-1831), as President of the United States. Washington, D.C., 13 November 1822. 1 page, 16 x 9 3/4 in. on vellum with original wafer seal.
Bearing the signature of President James Monroe, the document grants Benjamin Mills of Franklin County, Indiana, a parcel of land in Brookville.
Indiana was first established by the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 and divided into counties in 1790. Some of the earliest settlers were Primitive Baptists, a group of conservative Calvinistic Baptists, led by Elder William Tyner after the Revolutionary War, raising a log chapel near the site of Brookville in 1805. The town was originally platted by Thomas Manwarring in 1808, with a post office established in 1816.
A nice presidential signature on an early Indiana land grant.
