[English Bankrupcy Archive, 1784]. The Affairs of George Cartwright upon declaration of the Act of Bankruptcy against him on 28 May 1784. The archive includes 65 sheets, all handwritten documents on paper containing double watermarks of a crowned, seated Britannia and the Royal cypher, or on sheets watermarked with Britannia as described and with the name P. Larking. At the time of the bankrupcy, Cartwright owned lands and other properties in the counties of Nottingham, York, Lincoln, Marshham and Huntington, or Huntingdon, and elsewhere.
Some 130 people are listed as being at sometime connected with properties owned by Cartwright. Their names were extracted by solicitors from wills, leases, and other legal documents, extractions from the documents in reference being made in this unit. Four documents are contained in the unit. One document contains a pedigree (chart) of the Cartwright line. Extractions range from 1690 through 1794, at which time the Cartwright creditors were satisfied. (Parliament Land Acts reported). Very good; some fold tears and edge tears; paper loss in upper left corner of a couple of pages noted.
Estimated Value $400 - 600.
