1782 payment order to John Warner, The Physician-Brother of Commander of the Outlawed Green Mountain Boys.
Connecticut, Apr. 5, 1782, partly printed, 5 x 6" payment order document issued to John Warner and signed by two officers present at Valley Forge: Eleazer Wales and (Jedidiah) Huntington, together with Oliver Wolcott, Jr.
A physician and minister, Wales fought at Bunker Hill. Joining the Connecticut Line, he wintered with Washington at Valley Forge, later seeing action at Stony Point and Monmouth.
Maj. Gen. Jedidiah Huntington, a Son of Liberty, commanded Minute Men during the Lexington Alarm, also served at Valley Forge, on court martial of Major André, and signed the Constitution of Conn.
Wolcott would become Washington’s Secretary of the Treasury; his father was a Signer of the Declaration.
Warner moved to Vermont in 1792, becoming the first physician in St. Albans; he was “noted as the first to manufacture and vend pills in this section...saying, ‘If my pills don’t do you any good, they won’t hurt you,’ which is more than can be said of many pills that are sold at the present day” --The History of Washington County in the Vermont Historical Gazeteer..., 1882, p. 1056. Warner’s son married a young lady by the name of Experience Allen, a member of the Ethan Allen family.
Some fold and edge wear, else very good.
