That the petitioners trusting to his word have fully resolved to remove their families but as no certain account had been brought them of the purchase having been made, the same put a stop to their moving. Wherefore, if the Governor will soon make a real purchase of that land laid a part for them and then communicate the same to Thomas Turk, so that they may be informed of the truth thereof, if they can with safety then they will remove and come there. That the petitioners are informed that there are many loose persons who bear a bad character in some of those back parts and hope the Council will give them no manner of encouragement by letting them settle on any of that land, and pray that the Government would not grant away the best of that land, until they have time to hear of the purchase, and then to come and have their lot amongst us, they rely on the Clemency of the government in granting their request. Signed: John Pickens, William Baskins, James Leslie and above 30 others."</span></p></line></content><metadataxml> CREA 2017-04-06 21:49:21.034 CLON OID 546a4a28-523b-40c6-b890-65fe489f15f2. 2012-08-16 23:10:14.000.
