Document is possibly in Henry Knox's handwriting. An agreement between the settlers in Frankfort, Maine and Henry Knox, Samuel Winslow, and Isaac Winslow (who are the heirs of Brigadier General Samuel Waldo). The settlers agree to accept Henry Knox, Samuel Winslow, and Isaac Winslow's proposition for purchasing lots of lands in Frankfort. The terms and conditions of the sale are also provided.
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)."
