Partly printed document signed by Horatio Marbury, as Secretary of State of Georgia, and E. Clark, completed in manuscript. Oak Hall, [Columbia County], GA, January 1785. 1 page. Undersigned by Horatio Marbury.
A document certifying that Reubin Lett “was enlisted to serve as a soldier in the Battalion of Minute-Men, raised for the Defense of the State,” but that he was not an inhabitant of Georgia at the time of his enlistment or 6-months prior.
