[DECLARATION SIGNER]. WILLIAMS, William (1731-1811). Manuscript Document (mainly in an unknown hand, but partially written by Williams) Signed (“Wm. Williams”). Lebanon, CT, 24th March, 1759. Document appears to be a promise to raise and pay soldiers to fight in the French and Indian War. Countersigned by Joshua West, a captain in the local division of the British Army. Oblong 4to (320 x 195 mm). On white paper with 2 small wax seals (document is partially missing – mainly near the left margin – and is mounted onto later paper; remaining portion of document is soiled, toned, worn, chipped). Document is witnessed by Elinor [?] Goodrich and Erasmus Wolcott. It appears that Williams filled in some names and other information on this document, as well as his signature. William Williams was a merchant and a representative to the first Continental Congress.
