Lot 800
Connecticut Pays General Roger Enos to Raise a Regiment For the Continental Army. Partially-printed document signed ("Roger Enos"), 1p, 9 x 17 in., November 2, 1776. Very Fine. General Roger Enos has signed an official $3,000 Bond, allowing Peter Carter of Farmington and Phineas Lovejoy of Enfield in Connecticut, to form a Regiment of soldiers to join with the Continental Army in New York. It is signed by Thomas Seymour, Roger Enos, Peter Curtis and Phineas Lovejoy. The docketing on the back reads, "Capt. Peter Carter's Bond - 4(th) Battalion - 172 (pounds) Dec. 2nd 1776." A small 1 x 1½ in. piece has been cut out of the right margin. In the text of the document, the words "English Colony" are crossed out and the word "State" is inserted, reflecting the signing of the Declaration of Independence a few months earlier.
Estimated Value $800 - 1,200.
