Rare 1834 Legal Document Signed by Helena Morris, Daughter of Jacobus Roosevelt

Description: This is a rare and historically significant 1834 legal document acknowledging receipt of a $100 legacy by Helena Morris, widow and one of the daughters of Jacobus Roosevelt of New York. The document references her inheritance from the estate of her brother-in-law, Abraham Duygee (also spelled Duryee), and includes her signature along with a vibrant wax seal. Dated May 26, 1834, it provides a fascinating glimpse into early 19th-century estate settlements among prominent families of New York. Historical Context: Jacobus Roosevelt (1724–1777), Helena’s father, was a member of the notable Roosevelt family, one of the oldest and most influential families in New York. The Roosevelt lineage later produced two U.S. Presidents: Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. While Helena Morris herself was not as widely recognized, this document ties directly to a family of historical importance, making it a valuable piece for collectors and history enthusiasts alike. Condition: The document is well-preserved for its age, with clear and legible handwriting. The signature of Helena Morris and the accompanying wax seal are intact, adding to its authenticity and aesthetic appeal. Some minor creases and a slight discoloration are present, consistent with its age and storage over nearly two centuries. Please see photos for details. Provenance: This document was part of an estate settlement, executed by James C. Roosevelt (likely a relative and executor), and mentions a legacy distributed to Helena Morris from the estate of Abraham Duryee. It serves as a remarkable artifact of legal and familial processes in early 19th-century New York. Measurements: Approx. 8 inches by 6.5 inches. Please refer to photos with a measuring tape for exact dimensions. Features: •Original ink handwriting •Helena Morris’ signature •Embossed wax seal in vibrant red and yellow •Dated May 26, 1834 Significance: This document not only holds genealogical value for descendants of the Roosevelt or Duryee families but is also a collectible piece of Americana from the early 19th century. It reflects the customs of inheritance, family dynamics, and legal practices of the era. .15
