Hartford, Connecticut, 1782. Lot of 3 Tax Pay Orders Issued by the Pay-Table Office, Black print with black handwriting and signatures, All are signed by Eleazer Wales and Fenn Wadsworth. Wales who was a graduate of Yale and Presbyterian Minister who also later served as a Justice of the Peace in Hartford. He remained involved in state politics, acting as State Controller after the war. Fenn Wadsworth (1750/51-1785) was a brigade major to General James Wadsworth from 1776 to 1779. He fought in many battles during that time, but his failing health forced him to leave active service. The Pay-Table (also known as the Committee of Four) managed Connecticut's military finances during the Revolutionary War. Financing the Revolution laid a heavy burden upon each colony, especially those which balked at levying taxes. In order to meet immediate needs, such as wages, the colonies relied upon wealthy revolutionists, foreign loans, and taxes and gifts from abroad. Issuing notes such as these was only a temporary solution. (3). Sold "AS IS" no returns accepted.
