1777 Revolutionary War Connecticut Commission Bond Signed by Col. Thomas Seymour & Officers
This original Revolutionary War-era military commission bond is dated January 3, 1777, and issued by the State of Connecticut to Captain John Shumway under the authority of Colonel Charles Webb. The document is hand-signed by four prominent figures: Captain John Shumway, Colonel Thomas Seymour (noted Revolutionary War officer and future Adjutant General of Connecticut), Benoni Shipman, and Edward Seymour. Each signature is clearly visible and historically significant, with Thomas Seymour’s role as a respected military leader and statesman adding exceptional value. The bond reflects early American military structure, state-based funding efforts, and the urgent need to sustain local militias during the fight for independence. Authenticated and examined in person by DJR Authentication, this piece is a rare, museum-grade artifact of America’s founding era.
