- Confederate Bond, Four Thousand Dollars, 1864 - In March 1865, John Clarke Sinton transferred this $4,000 bond to Jane Clarke, likely the widow of one of his relatives. Sinton had served as estate trustee; these funds were probably part of Jane's husband's estate. $4,000 may seem like a lot of money -- but in 1865 it didn't buy much. With Confederate surrender a month later, the bond became worthless.
