A 1789 record of an historic meeting of the U.S. Board of Commissioners to approve payment for money due to John Taylor, an agent appointed by the board. The order states the meeting was held in Albany, New York, Jan. 13, 1789, and then first New York State Governor George Clinton was in attendance. He signed the order to approve payment. Also included is an autograph cut signed by him. The order appears to be written by him as well, with a note at the bottom signed by John Taylor on Jan. 23, 1789, saying he had received his payment. The 8" x 12.5" parchment paper document, in fine condition, is carefully pasted on a thick paper backing for reinforcement. An incredible piece of history.
Besides serving as the first governor of New York from 1777 to 1795 and again from 1801 to 1804, Clinton (July 26, 1739 – April 20, 1812) served as the fourth vice president of the United States from 1805 until his death in 1812. Along with John C. Calhoun, he is one of two vice presidents to hold office under two consecutive presidents. He was vice president under Thomas Jefferson from 1805–1809 and James Madison from 1809–1812. He was also the first vice-president to die in office. In his eighth year as Vice President (his fourth under President Madison), Clinton died from a heart attack on April 20, 1812, at the age of 72. Prior to his political career, Clinton had served in the French and Indian War, rising to the rank of lieutenant in the colonial militia. [ Albany New York 1789
