The land records include deeds signed by Virginia governors Patrick Henry and Edmund Randolph, and a document signed by James Wilson, purchasing shares in the Indiana Company, in which Barnard and Michael Gratz were major investors. Also included are miscellaneous personal papers and clippings of newspaper articles by and about family members, especially Rebecca Gratz.
