Warwickshire, England, 1743. Ink on parchment with surviving small wax seals at bottom edge. 1 vols. Single parchment membrane, pricked and ruled in ink with a large penwork initial, annotations in a contemporary hand, and four surviving wax seals. Paper ticket on verso along with contemporary annotation. Significant loss of text due to vertical division of the manuscript. Ink on parchment with surviving small wax seals at bottom edge. 1 vols. Eighteenth-century Marriage Contract. This marriage settlement concerns a marriage between Richard Hyatt, son of Humphrey Hyatt and Mary Hyatt, to an Elizabeth Bushell. The four seals name four sigantories: Humphrey Hyatt, Richard Hyatt, Mary Hyatt and one whose name is lacking. Undertaken under the reign of George the Second of England in the County of Warwick, this document might be a good teaching item due to its subject matter, clear hand, and the fact that it is written in English.
