Identifier: id231786

Scope and Contents

With regard to a letter I received from Andrew Ronald, concerning the situation of the lots and lands near this place that my father left my mother, brother, and myself, I beg you to use your interest with the gentlemen of the Assembly. My mother built on one of the lots and since has been informed that the lots and land were escheated and that the matter was suspended by an injunction in Chancery. I have had a petition drawn up and Colonel Parker and Colonel Mathews will present it to the General Assembly.
