1p, measuring 8" x 2.125", New York, dated July 9, 1766. Signed "Wm Williams", promising to make a payment.

William Williams (1731-1811) was a merchant and a delegate for Connecticut to the Continental Congress in 1776. He missed the vote for Independence but did arrive in time (after replacing Oliver Wolcott who was ill) to be a signer of the Declaration of Independence. In 1777, Williams was appointed to the Board of War.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
