Check written by Putnam, a Revolutionary War general and founder of a colony in Ohio. He began the colony in Adelphia, Ohio, which later became Marietta, Ohio. He moved to the Ohio country in 1788 as the Superintendent of the Ohio Company. This 139 dollar check was written by Putnam as President of the Bank of Marietta. It says to pay "Messrs. Skinner & Buckingham or order one hundred thirty nine dollars, value received of them, and place the same to account of." Marked to George Simpson, the cashier of the Bank of the United States in Philadelphia. Note on verso says "pay the within contents to Harvey & Worthington." It is also countersigned "Skinner & Buckingham" and "Harvey & Worth" on verso. Paper is extremely thin.
