No. 856. Issued for one share to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on July 1st, 1821. Signed by the president (J. Demuth) and treasurer (G. Upp). Not cancelled. 10 x 7.75 inches. The York and Gettysburg turnpike is completed - this road was the only link wanting to a chain to connect Chambersburg and the city of Philadelphia by a turnpike. This route will shorten the distance between Lancaster and Chambersburg about 15 miles, which going and coming on bad roads would make a whole day's ride. On the 1st of January next daily stages will begin to run between Lancaster and Chambersburg, on this road. [The Republican Compiler, Gettysburg, PA December 8, 1819]
