grant to Alexander Laughlin, a tract of land containing 120 acres in Washington County, "on the waters of Sinking Creek", signed by Governor Monroe, on vellum with official seal, 12-1/2 x 15-3/4 in.
Provenance: likely descended through Holston Valley (Tennessee/Virginia line) settler families of Laughlin, King, Sharp, and Painter before coming to the present owner; Private Tennessee Collection
Note: We sold a very similar land grant, also signed by James Monroe, as Lot 274 in our July 13, 2023 auction. That document brought a hammer price of $650 and was on pulp, not vellum.
