Vignette of a small five pointed star at upper center of page. Old fold lines, some age toning, else very good. A partly printed document, completed in manuscript: "No. [124], Republic of Texas, County of [Jasper]. This is to certify that [Green Hutchings] has appeared before the Board of Land Commissioners for the County of [Jasper] and proved according to law that [he] arrived in this Republic [in the year AD 1834] and that [he] is a [married man] and entitled to [One League & One Labor] of Land...." The land was granted on condition of Hutchings paying $3.50 for each labor of irrigable land, $2.50 for each labor of temporal or arable land, and $1.20 for each labor of pasture land. Signed in ink, July 5, 1839, by John Bevil and W.H. Stark, and witnessed by A.G. Parker. Hutchings settled in Texas before the Texas Declaration of Independence was declared in March 1836. This made him eligible to "first class headrights," which as a married man meant one league and one labor of land, amounting to 4,605.5 acres.
