HUNTINGTON, Jedediah (1743-1818). American General in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, brevetted Major General in 1783, one of the organizers of the Society of the Cincinnati, member of the court-martial that tried Gen. Charles Lee and that condemned Major André. He "fought courageously during the Battle of Bunker Hill, from which he emerged a Colonel." Partially-Printed Document Signed "J Huntington," measuring 12.5" x 7.5", this being an unused 1789 Connecticut Treasury Office Document to be used for reporting on Certificates issued for Continental Army Soldiers Notes turned into the Treasury. This unused, pristine full Uncut Double-Page Sheet is fresh and bright, having lots of original press text embossing remaining within the high quality laid watermarked period paper, attesting to its outstanding originality. The signature of Revolutionary War General Jedediah Huntington is magnificent, being a bold fresh deep brown, exactly as it appeared on the day it was signed. Fine.
