Description
A Pennsylvania land grant on vellum dated 10-10-1794, granting a property named "Thornbury" to William Bingham, and signed by Pennsylvania governor and Founding Father Thomas Mifflin (1744-1800).

After the Revolution he was the last President of Pennsylvania, succeeding Benjamin Franklin, a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, in the course of which he was a Signer of the Constitution, and then the first Governor of Pennsylvania. This document was also signed by the first Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth, James Trimble (1755-1837), and by one Nathaniel Irwin.
