Partially Printed File Note Signed, Deed of Trust from Wilbur F. Nash to William R. Woodward and William Redin Woodward, October 16, 1884, Washington, DC. 1 p., 3 1/2 x 8 1/2 in. Among Frederick Douglass's many titles and accomplishments, acting as the Recorder of Deeds for Washington, D.C., was one of his lesser-known occupations. While Douglass's letters are scarce, documents signed during his tenure as recorder can be obtained at a very reasonable price.This deed of trust from Washington dried beef merchant Wilbur F. Nash to attorneys William R. Woodward and his son William Redin Woodward conveyed the legal title of real property to serve as security for a loan or debt. Nash had executed a similar deed of trust to William Redin Woodward in November 1881. Historical BackgroundOn October 16, 1884, Wilbur F. Nash filed a deed with the recorder's office for two lots on the east side of 5th Street in Charles H. Holden's sub. of square 832 (bounded by 5th and 6th Streets and H and I Streets, NE) in Washington. The deed was from attorney James S. Edwards, trustee, to Nash, which he had purchased for $2,460.[1] On October 22, the city issued a building permit to Nash to build a brick building on L street, between North Capital and N Street northwest, to cost $2,000.[2]Frederick Douglass (1817-1895) was an orator, journalist, abolitionist, and distinguished African-American leader. Born a slave in Tuckahoe, Maryland, as Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, he assumed the name Douglass after he escaped from slavery in 1838. That year, he married Anna Murray (1813-1882), and they had five children. In 1841, Douglass successfully addressed a Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society convention and was employed as its agent. He wrote Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass in 1845 to document his experiences and sufferings and to silence those who contended that a man of his abilities could not have been a slave. Douglass soon became a noted anti-slavery orator and supporter of women's rights, lecturing in both the United States and England. He attended the Seneca Falls Convention on women's rights and signed its Declaration of Sentiments. Douglass edited his own newspaper, The North Star, for several years. In 1855, he published his second autobiography, My Bondage and My Freedom. During the Civil War, he was instrumental in advocating for African-American combat units, and in raising troops. He fought for passage of the Thirteenth (Abolition), Fourteenth (Equal Protection), and Fifteenth (Voting Rights) Amendments, through testimony to Congress, reports to the President, and regular appearances on the lecture circuit. In 1872, Douglass was nominated for vice-president by the Equal Rights Party on a ticket headed by Victoria Woodhull. Douglass was the first African American to serve in important federal posts, including Marshal of the District of Columbia (1877-1881), Recorder of Deeds for Washington D.C. (1881-1886), and Minister-General to Haiti (1889-1891). In 1881, he published Life and Times of Frederick Douglass, his third and final autobiography, which he revised in 1892. After the death of his wife Anna, Douglass married white suffragist Helen Pitts (1838-1903) in 1884, a marriage his children opposed.Wilbur Fisk Nash (1859-1951) was born in Auburn, New York. From the 1880s, he was a meat dealer at Centre Market in Washington, D.C. In October 1884, he was elected as a director of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) for the coming year. In September 1889, he married Hattie E. Sloat (1865-1931), and they had nine children over the next eighteen years. In that year, he owned real estate in Washington valued at $26,107. In 1900, he continued as a smoked meat merchant and bought and sold real estate in Washington.William Ryland Woodward (1819-1905) was born in Maryland and graduated from Dickinson School of Law in 1838. He opened a practice in Washington, D.C., and served as a trustee of . (See website for full description).
