2. From what I'm reading in searches
drafts of the Constitution were written on hemp paper!

But the actual copy in the Archives Rotunda is written on parchment.

5. My great great great great great uncle actually printed the broadsides
and the all the Virgina/N&S Carolina/Kentucky family had registered hemp licenses...so yeah...we will be tearing walls out of one of the original brother's/uncle's/nephew's house this summer, and hope to GOD to find one of those somewhere. We...would...be...rich (probably not, we are sentimental idiots and would probably keep it because it would be too precious to part with)
