Note
Printed document for "One hundredth part of the excess of the Connecticut western reserve ..."
Signed: Jona. Brace, John Caldwell, Jn. Morgan, Trustees.
"No. 11." at top left corner.
The Connecticut Western Reserve was the area of northeast Ohio that Connecticut had reserved for her citizens in 1786 in exchange for ceding all western land claims to the U.S. government. The area comprised all land south of Lake Erie to 41' latitude and within 120 miles of Pennsylvania's western border. The Connecticut Land Company (1795-1809) was authorized by Connecticut to purchase and resell most of the Western Reserve, and received title to all Reserve land except for the 500,000 acre Firelands on the extreme west which was reserved for Connecticut victims whose lands were burned by the British in the revolutionary war.
Gift of Diana Judd Stevens, Martha Judd Estroff, William Hart Judd III, Margaret Ann Judd, and Rebecca Judd, in memory of their grandfather, William Hart Judd, and father William Hart Judd, Jr.
