$65.00

For sale is a framed land grant from April 16, 1833, months after Andrew Jackson turned over the task of signing land grants to his step-son Andrew Donelson. This grant is Andrew Jackson secretary-signed by Donelson, and is signed by Elijah Haywood, who wasCommissioner of the General Land Office.
History of the land grants following 1833: Andrew Jackson\'s step-son Andrew Jackson Donelson became an administrative assistant and adviser. He also signed land grants for Jackson beginning in 1833.
Officially, all land grants were required to be signed by the President of the United States. All Presidents prior to Jackson signed many thousands of land grants. Jackson apparently had enough of this procedure, and by the beginning of his second term, (1833), passed the task along to his son. Other Presidents continued the “tradition” after Jackson left office. Almost all land grants after that date were signed by secretaries and not by the President.
