Archives International Auctions - Sale 104B 38 Archives International Auctions www.archivesinternational.com 757 757 CT. State of Connecticut, Pay-Table Office, 1782, Tax Warrant. Hartford, Connecticut, 1782. Tax Warrant for 4 Pounds, 1 Shilling, 8 Pence Issued to ‘Torrington Selectmen’, Black print with black handwriting and signatures, Signed by early Connecticut figures Eleazer Wales and Fenn Wadsworth. Fenn Wadsworth (1750/51-1785) was a brigade major to General James Wadsworth from 1776 to 1779. He fought in many battles during that time, but his failing health forced him to leave active service. Eleazer Wales was graduate of Yale and Presbyterian Minister who also later served as a Justice of the Peace in Hartford. He remained involved in state politics, acting as State Controller after the war. The Pay-Table (also known as the Committee of Four) managed Connecticut’s military finances during the Revolutionary War. Financing the Revolution laid a heavy burden upon each colony, especially those which balked at levying taxes. In order to meet immediate needs, such as wages, the colonies relied upon wealthy revolutionists, foreign loans, and taxes and gifts from abroad. Issuing notes such as these was only a temporary solution. ��������������������������������������������������������������������� Est. $60-90 U.S. Obsolete Banknotes Michigan 758 758 MI.
