Colonial America
Costs of Dealing with Criminals, Including "Counterfeiters"
1766 to 1768-Dated Colonial America, Manuscript Document Signed, "Asa Kimball", Listing of Costs and Charges Incurred by the Sheriff, Related to dealing with Criminals, including Counterfeiters, Fine.
An interesting Manuscript (and perhaps Autograph) Document Signed, "Asa Kimball" as Deputy Sheriff, 13" x 8.25", 1 page, some tone and small wear holes where folded and worn with some archival reinforcement on the back of the horizontal fold. Kimball lists various charges relating to locating, summoning, serving, and transporting several criminals to Court and the Goal (Jail), all of which adds up to 6 Pounds, 7 Shillings, and 3 Pence. The Counterfeiters included:
Thomas Straight, William Straight, and John Jenckes Dunfey. A fourth individual, Rufus Bartlet was served a warrant as a suspected Counterfeiter. It's unclear whether the Counterfeiting was for Coins or Colonial Paper Money, but we suspect the latter.
An interesting historical Document with numismatic, paper money connection. Docket on the blank reverse reads and is Signed, in full: "Asa Kimball - Act (Acting) AG (Attorney General) Colony". Accompanied by a Typed letter of transcription. (2 items).
Col. Asa Kimball, 1737 - 1797:
Col. Asa Kimball was born at Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts. Col married Hannah Kimball (born Sweet) in 1762, at age 24 at Rhode Island. Hannah was born on November 19, 1734, in East Greenwich, Kent, Rhode Island. They had 11 children: Asa Kimball, Sarah Kimball and 9 other children. Col passed away in 1797, at age 59 at Barton, Orleans, VT.
