January 06, 1814
Rare, early document from the "Indian Territory". This part-printed/part-manuscript document is for the payment of one dollar to David Robb, it reading: "THE INDIANA TERRITORY is indebted to David Robb for his services as member of the House of Representatives the sum of one dollar, and....cents, which with interest Theron, is payable at her Treasury the sixth day of January, one thousand eight hundred and fourteen." signed in script by Davis Floyd.
A decorative note, 5 1/2 by 3 inches, scalloped at the left side, minimal wear, blank on the reverse, good condition.
Very rare to find items printed in the Indiana Territory, which existed from 1800 thru 1816 when it became a state.
AI notes: In 1814, Davis Floyd, serving as Treasurer of the Indiana Territory, signed a rare and decorative payment document, notable for its scalloped edge and historical significance. Such documents are scarce due to limited printing in the territory, which existed from 1800 until Indiana achieved statehood in 1816. Floyd, a key political figure who overcame involvement in the Aaron Burr conspiracy, helped move the territorial capital to Corydon and contributed to constructing its capitol. The 1814 payment document reflects both his administrative role and the early financial operations of the U.S. territory, making it a valuable artifact for historians and collectors.
