Wolcott, ( January 11, 1760 - June 1, 1833), was the second United States Secretary of the Treasury, a judge of the United States Circuit Court for the Second Circuit, and the 24th Governor of Connecticut. He was a member of the Pay-Table Committee for several years, and was a commissioner to settle claims of Connecticut against the United States from 1784 to 1788.

Note was issued for payment of the Civil List by the pay-table of Connecticut. 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. Warrants range from Fine to VF+ condition. (2). Sold “AS IS” no returns accepted. ������������ Est. $180-280 161 161 CT.
