Very educational. Thanks so much! I would not caught but one of things myself. It's because I collect US antique patents. Contractual documents. Before 1836, they were signed by presidents. I have only seen them signed at the correct place noted for the contract. Same for land deeds. It would seem wierd that a signature would basically be written over the official contract. Plus $6,000 can't be anywhere near a true value. Andrew Jackson on a patent contract would be at least double that - and that's mid-1800. Thanks for taking the time to point out things...
