John ANDERSON & Jo’s PEARCE are held and firmly bound unto 
his Excellency Robert BROOKES Esq. Governor of Virginia, in

NOTE: John ANDERSON’s mark appears to be two German written letters. The John ANDERSON who married Catharine HAYMAKER on 25 August 1795 appears to have signed his own name in English.
