THOMAS MACHIN'S SIGNATURE FOUND
Last week Kathy Lawrence inquired about documents with a signature of Thomas Machin. First to respond was Roger Siboni, who noted that a photograph of the Machin's Mills partnership agreement appeared in his New Jersey State Coppers book (p42).

Machin's Mills partnership agreement Roger Siboni writes: It doesn't get more authentic than this and it's housed in the ANS. Amazing to even hold it in your hand. Referring to the same document, Phil Mossman referred us to page 187 of his book, Money of the American Colonies and Confederation. Phil writes: Below is a copy of Thomas Machin's signature from the April 18, 1787 partnership agreement with James Atlee and four others to mint NY coins at Newburgh. This is sent with the permission of the ANS (I asked). The smudge is the wax impression.
