Partly-printed vellum DS as president, one page, 13.5 x 9, September 3, 1824. President Monroe grants John Lickey of Kentucky a parcel of land containing 130 acres to be sold at “Cincinnati by the Act of Congress, entitled 'An Act providing for the sale of the Lands of the United States, in the Territory northwest of Ohio, and above the mouth of Kentucky River.'" Signed at the conclusion by President James Monroe and countersigned by Commissioner of the General Land Office George Graham. The lower left retains the original white paper seal. In very good to fine condition, with irregular toning and a circular stain to the upper left corner; Monroe's signature is completely unaffected.
John Wilson Lickey (1781-1864), a Virginia native, was a farmer who married Elizabeth Thompkins Saddler in 1813. The family moved to Kentucky before 1820 and soon moved to Ohio near Cincinnati. Later in life, as a widower, Lickey lived with a daughter’s family in Indiana.
