179933509Hartford 1799. Printed folio broadside 7-3/8" x 12-1/4" completed in manuscript and docketed in manuscript on verso. Old folds light foxing else Very Good. An evidently unrecorded document on Connecticut claims to the Western Reserve not located on ESTC OCLC or NAIP as of March 2017.<br/><br/> "A general meeting of the agents of said proprietors held at Hartford on the 17th May 1797" established a schedule of taxes. But Frances Bradley of Fairfield failed to pay. Thus on January 15 1798 her property was sold for the amount of unpaid taxes to Walter Terry of Fairfield. Lothrop Lewis of Fairfield the tax collector here officially transfers the property to Terry. His deed dated March 30 1799 is acknowledged on April 5 1799. Lothrop Lewis whose name is printed also signs in ink; witnesses were Lewis Sturges and Samuel Rowland. <br/> In 1786 Connecticut relinquished claims to land west of Pennsylvania except for the Western Reserve a portion of what is now south of Lake Erie in northeast Ohio. Connecticut assigned some of the Reserve to its citizens as compensation for losses suffered during the Revolution; and sold the rest to a consortium of Connecticut men including Moses Cleaveland who had formed the Connecticut Land Company. Their speculations were not successful there being no effective local government in the Reserve capable of unraveling the tangle of land titles. Thus taxes imposed were frequently not collected. To force payment of the tax on January 15 1798 Lothrop Lewis conducted the sales.
