“Granting Freedom” Slavery Document (State of New York) Rare Historic Document

Description

Slavery Emancipation Document (New York City) blank Historic Document. Circa 1860s
Rare Estate Find!
Will probably never find another one of these.
Found in an old desk purchased at estate sale in upstate New York. This document is a page from the records book for New York City 1816. There were only 2 documents that we found. It seem that they are from separate records books as they don’t exactly match or line up. Hard to tell when exactly they were removed from the books. I believe they would’ve had a recorder with quill and ink fill in the rest of the information but these were left blank . Circa 1816
Thanks for your interest.
