Can anyone decipher this letter/signature? I can't for the life of me!

It's mentioning Gov. Ogden of NJ, that's why I bought it (I found it at a yard sale!).. but I can not make out anything in it or who signed it! It was to John Beatty, Esq

Looks like it is "Tho:" (Thomas)  Henderson.  he was a judge and later congressman from New Jersey. It is a very nice document.  I do not know his autograph but should be examples out there to check.

That was quick, thank you!

I think you're correct, and after a wiki of Thomas Henderson I've found there was a US House member from Freehold, NJ with that name.. Freehold is where this was mailed from. Thank you very much!!

No problem have read lots of eighteenth century documents over the years.
