Royal grant to widow and sons amid Cook discoveries
The document notes a per annum settlement of 2001 to the widow during life and 251 to each of her three sons. After her death the 200 goes to all children, a quarter to Captain King, and a quarter to Mr Bligh and Captain Clerke's representative. It states Captain Cook’s many extensive discoveries, untouched by Europeans before.
