(William Penn)

The founder of Pennsylvania grants land in Philadelphia. The grant opens with a preamble: "William Penn Absolute Proprietor of the Province of Pennsilvania & Counties annexed by his Comission dated the Seventh day of the Tenth Mo — 1689 Unto William Markham Rob: Turner John Goodson, and — Samuell Carpenter or any three of them Sendeth Greeting."

The lot was granted to Isaac Warner, "containing in breadth Thirty two foot & in Length Eighty two foot Bounded Northward with vacant Lotts Eastward with Strawberry Alley Southward with Anthony Tayler's lott, & to the Westward with Thomas Harlows lott Granted by virtue of a warrant ... dated the Twenty Sixth of the Second Mo: 1690 & laid out by the Surveyor Generralls order the Twenty fifth of the Second Mo: 1691." Signed by Penn's representatives, including his cousin William Markham and John Goodsonn, the first English physician to come to Pennsylvania. The verso seems to certify Warner's selling of the land to a John White in 1693, though the script is partially illegible.
