Original 1830 land grant signed by Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), seventh President of the United States (1829-1837). The official government document grants a parcel of land to Samuel Chandler of Ohio, according to the provisions provided by an 1820 Act of Congress. The document, which is both printed and handwritten on parchment, is dated December 1, 1830, and has been officially signed in black ink along the bottom by both President "Andrew Jackson" and the Commissioner of the General Land Office, "Elijah Hayward." The official government seal, which is faded, remains affixed in the lower left corner. The document (15.5 x 9.75 inches) displays three vertical folds and two horizontal folds, light toning, and minor tape residue along the edges. In apparent Good condition overall. Mounted and framed to total dimensions of 20.25 x 14.5 inches. Presidential signatures dating from the president's respective term in office, especially on official government documents, are always the ideal and this remains a fine example from "Old Hickory's" second year in office. Full LOA from James Spence/JSA.
