A propos de cet article

1780 Land Grant of 3000 acres to David Ross and John May, heirs of William Fleming, for services to the British King during the French and Indian War as Captain of the Virginia Regiment, based on a 1763 proclamation. Partially printed document. An attested copy, completed and signed at Williamsburg in Jefferson's name by a secretarial hand on January 5, 1780. Documents from Jefferson's time as Governor of Virginia from 1779 to 1781 are quite rare. John May, the grantee, was Clerk of the old Kentucky County and Clerk of the Land Commission when he was sent out from Virginia to settle land disputes in the newly settled areas. In 1787, Maysville, Kentucky was named after him. May was killed on the Ohio River during an Indian attack on his boat in 1790. The area of land named in the grant, 3000 acres five miles below the Falls of the Ohio, is the site of present day Shawnee Park along the western shoreline of Louisville, Kentucky. Old folds to document, with wear and small losses to folds. Please inquire for photos. A remarkable document issued in the same year that Thomas Jefferson as Governor of Virginia issued a town charter for Louisville. …
