📜 (AI) The Document: An 18th-Century Land Deed
This is a legal document recording a property sale in Orange County, New York (back when New York was still a British "Province" rather than a US state).
The transaction is between Henry Case and Captain John Wisner, both notable historical figures from the town of Florida ("Floridy"), New York. John Wisner was a prominent early settler and captain in both the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War.
