Item Details

Description

Autographs
1780 Revolutionary War "John Bayard" Signed Pay Order as Speaker of the PA. Legislature, To David Rittenhouse, Treas.
JOHN BAYARD (1738-1807). Speaker of the Pennsylvania Legislature, Headed the Continental Philadelphia Militia, Member of the Council of Safety, Delegate for Pennsylvania to the Congress of the Confederation in 1785 and 1786, and later Mayor of New Brunswick, New Jersey, was Speaker on March 1, 1780 when "An Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery," was passed by the Fifth Pennsylvania General Assembly, prescribing an end for Slavery in Pennsylvania.
On 1 March 1780, "An Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery," was passed by the Fifth Pennsylvania General Assembly, prescribing an end for Slavery in Pennsylvania. It was the First Act Abolishing Slavery in the course of human history to be adopted by a democracy. This May 31, 1780-Dated Revolutionary War Period, Manuscript Document Signed, "John Bayard," as Speaker of the Pennsylvania Legislature (representing Lancaster County) received his Wages, 1 page, measuring about 6" x 8" beautifully written on fine quality period laid paper, Choice Extremely Fine. It has a virtually invisible small professional margin repair near upper left edge and tipped to paper. Appears clean and fresh with excellent eye appeal that is perfect for display, with a huge bold 3" long "John Bayard" signature. The documents text reads, in full:
"Philad. - May 31, 1780 -- Sir -- Pay to James Cunningham Esquire, or his Order, the Sum of one hundred & ninety two Pounds for his Attendance in Committee on Public Wages for twelve Days Service in the Assembly; and one hundred & thirty five pounds for his Mileage ---- in the whole --- (Signed) John Bayard, Speaker" Noted: "To David Rittenhouse Esqr Sate Treasurer. (Cosigned by) James Cunningham".
On 1 March 1780, "An Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery," was passed by the Fifth Pennsylvania General Assembly, prescribing an end for Slavery in Pennsylvania. It was the First Act Abolishing Slavery in the course of human history to be adopted by a democracy.
The Act prohibited further importation of slaves into the State, required Pennsylvania slaveholders to annually register their slaves (with forfeiture for noncompliance, and Manumission for the Enslaved), and established that all children born in Pennsylvania were free persons regardless of the condition or race of their parents. Those enslaved in Pennsylvania before the 1780 law came into effect remained enslaved for life. Pennsylvania's "gradual abolition""rather than Massachusetts's 1783 "instant abolition""became a model for freeing slaves in other Northern states.
