Signed by Henry Knox, Samuel Winslow, and Isaac Winslow. The document also includes a list of signatures of second parties to the agreement. Appears to be a legal land agreement (possibly part of the Waldo patent) involving Henry Knox, Samuel Winslow, and Isaac Winslow. Date was added at a later date in red pen.

It is unclear whether the Isaac Winslow of this document is the younger Isaac (1763-1806), who is Samuel's brother, or their elder cousin (1743-ca. 1792/3)."

Knox, Henry, 1750-1806
Winslow, Samuel, fl. 1781-1806
