1793 Pennsylvania Land Transfer Document – Huntingdon County – Joseph Crukshank Printing
Original Federal-period Pennsylvania land document dated November 5, 1793, documenting the transfer of rights to a 400-acre tract in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania.
Printed by renowned Philadelphia printer Joseph Crukshank, the form records the assignment by John Kidd of Northumberland County to James C. Fisher, merchant of Philadelphia, of a Pennsylvania land application covering 400 acres adjoining land of Daniel Smith.
The document begins with the classic legal wording:
"Know All Men by these Presents..."
