This is a receipt dated 6 June 1814 from John S. Brickey of Mine Shibboleth in Washington County, Missouri Territory, to Mrs. Banford for $3.00 for “crying the vendue,” or conducting a public sale or auction.  The transaction probably was part of an estate settlement.

 

On 6 June 1814 John Perry, Jr., of Mine au Burton (Mine á Breton) by this note told Mrs. Banford “you will plan to pay Mr. John S. Brickey three Dollars which is coming to him for Cry­ing the vendue and oblige.”  On the reverse side of the note Brickey acknowledged receiving “the full amount” from Mrs. Banford.  The note is assigned “No. 5,” which indicates that it might have been part of a probate proceeding, perhaps the sale of Mrs. Banford’s husband’s estate.
