[PILGRIM FATHERS THE]: WINSLOW EDWARD (1595-1655) English Separatist and New England political leader, one of the Pilgrim Fathers who travelled on the Mayflower in 1620. One of several senior leaders on the Mayflower, Winslow was a signatory of the Mayflower Compact, one of the most historic documents in American history. An extremely rare D.S., Edw: Winslow, one page, folio, Haberdashers' Hall, London, 17th March 1651. The manuscript document is issued by the Committee for Sequestration and Advancement of Money and relates to Oliver Saul of Penrice, Cornwall, and discharges him of an earlier assessment by which he was ordered to pay £200. Signed by Winslow at the foot and countersigned by several other commissioners including Richard Moore. With the original manuscript certificate signed and issued by Martyn Dallison, also dated 17th March 1651, neatly attached as a second page in the upper left corner with a small red wax seal. Autographs of any of the Pilgrim Fathers are of the utmost rarity and highly desirable. Some light staining and minor age wear to the edges, and with a small area of paper loss to the lower left edge and corner of the primary document. About VG
Provenance: Previously with Roger Collicott Books and acquired by the English history collector David Stather (1940-2022) for his library.
