SALE OF . . . THE FOLLOWING ESTATE . . . BEING HIS MANSION HOUSE AND LAND" - An apparent proof of broadside announcing an estate sale of a prominent New England landowner that was sent to the family patriarch probably for his approval

1846009697Hingham and Quincy Massachusetts to Bedford New Hampshire 1846. Envelope or Cover. Very good. This broadside which advertises an estate sale to be held on 26 August 1846 measures approximately 13" square has been folded to facilitate mailing. It was printed in Quincy Massachusetts by the auctioneer on 21 August 1846 and sent the following day probably for approval to the family patriarch in Bedford New Hampshire by the guardian of the deceased's children in Hingham Massachusetts. The broadside bears a circular Hingham postmark in red and a black manuscript "2" postal rate the correct cost to send printed matter by mail. It is in nice shape with light toning and wear. The broadside announces two simultaneous auctions to dispose of the estate. "Sale of Real Estate at Bent's Point in Quincy . . . being the property of Mary E. Riddle Charles L. Riddle and Adeline L. Riddle minor children of David Riddle deceased. . . "One undivided fifth part of a certain piece of Land with a Dwelling house and other Buildings . . . containing two acres more or less . . . being formerly the property of Isaac Riddle Esquire deceased being his Mansion House and Land. . . "At the same time and place . . . four-fifths of the above estate will be sold under the direction of Gen. Wm. P. Riddle in behalf of the remaining heirs. . . ." . The Riddles were a prominent and prosperous New England family. Isaac the original owner of this property had also owned property in Bedford as well as the first mill to be built at Merrimack New Hampshire. He and his brother or possibly cousin William P. Riddle formed a militia company of exempts i.e. self-armed and equipped volunteers over 40 years of age who although exempt for military duty chose to organize as a militia unit. The company drilled daily in expectation that as a result of heightened Anglo-American tension over the Oregon-Canada borderit would be called on to fight the British at Portsmouth. But that never happened the unit remained active and grew following the war. Although Isaac apparently lost interest William continued his service and rose to the rank of Major General in the New Hampshire militia before resigning in 1835.
