"A Treasury Certificate of unspecified interest issued to Anthony Needham for his service in the Connecticut Line of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. These were payable in gold, silver or bills of credit. Soldiers or their dependents usually received four such notes, with each one being redeemable in a different year, to cover the balance due them. Each certificate was signed by the State Treasurer, John Lawrence (The Sanders Price Guide to Autographs, 5th Edition, lists his signature on a document at $90.00).
A record of interest payments is listed on the reverse. The hole punch indicates that the voucher was paid in full and then cancelled. "

Absolom Gardner states in his 1873 Centenial Address to the town of Wales regarding Biographical Sketches of it's people:
The oldest of Anthony and Molly's children was Captain Anthony, who married Rebecca Munger, a sister of the four Munger brothers. His homestead comprised the farms in the west part of the town, and which afterward, divided, made the homesteads of our former highly respected townsmen, Alvin Needham and Cyrus Munger. Captain Anthony was a man greatly respected, was the first Representative from South Brimfield in the Massachusetts Legislature, and was the progenitor of some of the most noted and worthy of our town's former inhabitants, among whom may be named Mr. Alvin Needham, already mentioned, and Alfred Needham, Esq.
(Grandson and Great-Grandson).
