1811 Abraham Lincoln Signed (not The President) Massachusetts Court Writ
Note: NOT PRESIDENT LINCOLN
This is an early Massachusetts legal official named Abraham Lincoln, active in Worcester County around 1811, and generally regarded as part of the extended New England Lincoln family from which President Abraham Lincoln descended.
The document itself references:
Worcester County, Massachusetts
A judgment from 1809
Execution issued in 1811
Signed at bottom:
“Abraham Lincoln Justice Peace” (abbreviated)
The handwriting style, legal format, and county references are fully consistent with an early Massachusetts magistrate document.
Important Clarification
This is not signed by President Abraham Lincoln (who was born in 1809 and was a child at the time).
However, collectors do pursue:
Lincoln-family genealogy material
Early Massachusetts Lincoln family documents
Pre-presidential Lincoln surname material
