Attached to the Land Grant by a ribbon is a 13" x 8" Certification Document, Signed by William Minor. A Hand-drawn Map of the surveyed area is also present. William Moultrie has signed boldly, his first and last name written on either side of the silk ribbon which attaches the two sheets together at bottom.
