Dogs are my favorite people. I hang with this one as often as I can.

Sorry, this piece of parchment is too large for my scanner, so only part of it shows. It seems that Peter Park, an agent of King George III, and of York county transferred a parcel of land. There is a revenue stamp on it. I thought it was cool enough to share it with you guys.

This is a stamp on the back.

This is the revenue stamp on the front of the document.

This is hand stamped in ink on the bottom left hand corner.

A Service Dog gives a person with a disability independence. Never approach, distract or pet a working dog, especially when (s)he is in harness. Never be afraid to ask questions to the handler (parent).

re: 1771 Document

Thanks, Kelly. I couldn't resist a document from the early days of the Revolutionary War.

Does anyone know anything about these stamps? My Classic Specialized Catalogue of Stamps and Covers doesn't go back to 1771.

re: 1771 Document

this predates the revolution by several years, and predates the Continental congress by a couple as well.

I thought the Revolution started with the Boston Massacre in 1770. Am I wrong?

re: 1771 Document

the Battles of Lexington and Concord are generally considered the opening of the War. Certainly, the killing in Boston foretells what's to come, but predates any formal unification of colonial governments.

I suspect Lexington and Concord are more likely starting points because they were organized by larger powers, whereas the massacre was a mob-event, and neither mob nor soldiers were under orders.

re: 1771 Document

Tim,

I bought it from an on-line stamp dealer. I couldn't resist. (Heck, I never even try to. I always indulge my darling self.) I uploaded it to another stamp site, and a guy there from the U.K. saw a similar piece that same afternoon at the Fleetwood Museum in Lancashire. He uploaded a shot of the same revenue stamp and the museum's document was from 1762.

I guess I'll have to email the museum to find out more about the stamps.

The document is hard to read because of the Olde English. I'll have to contact my history professor buddy to see whether he can decipher it.

re: 1771 Document

That's a nice historical document.

The first few words say "Manor of the Prebend of Strensall".

I guess this relates to land in the village of Strensall in North Yorkshire in England.

Hi amsd,

I understand about Lexington and Concord being the first battles, but I believe that the Boston Massacre was their September 11th. Just my opinion.
