Connecticut, 1781 and 1782. Pair of I/C Tax Pay Orders issued by the Pay-Table Office. One is issued to the New Haven Committee of Supplies for 30 Pounds, the other is issued to the Hartford Committee of Supplies for 12 Shillings. Pay-Table signatures include Eleazer Wales, Fenn Wadsworth, and William Moseley, with Jedediah (or Jedidiah) Huntington's signature across. Black text with black handwriting on front and back. The Pay-Table (also known as the Committee of Four) managed Connecticut's military finances during the Revolutionary War. Its members rotated during the lengthy confrontation with England. 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. Wadsworth stayed in Connecticut's government, as shown by his membership to the Pay-Table Committee. William Moseley (1755-1824) later would serve in the Connecticut state senate. He was also the Director of the Hartford National Bank from 1797 to 1815. Jedediah Huntington (4 August 1743 - 25 September 1818), was an American general in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. After the war, he served in numerous civilian posts. Fine-VF condition with toning. Pair of Revolutionary War documents. (2)
