Maryland, April 10th, 1774. Lot of 2 Issued banknotes: 1/9th of a Dollar, P-S970, S/N 1029; and 1/3rd of a Dollar, P-S973, S/N 6432. Both have black text with the Seal of Maryland depicted, are signed by John Clapham and William Eddis, and printed by Anne Catherine Green and Frederick Green. VG with small faults to Choice VG condition. John Clapham (1735-1815) held several colonial offices in Maryland before the war. He sold his property off to support his family and eventually fled to New York in 1779 and then England in 1780. William Eddis was an Englishman who was loyal to the Crown. He settled in Maryland in 1769, and held the office of surveyor of customs. As a member of Governor Robert Eden's inner circle, he was involved in the political and social life of the Maryland colony. He fled to England in 1777. His published letters provide interesting insights into the life and politics of colonial America. (2)
