This petition
was presented to the Tennessee Legislature in 1801 and originated from the
area that would become Campbell County on its formation in 1806. Men on this
petition may have left contemporaneous records made in Knox, Anderson,
Claiborne, or Grainger Counties. The reason for the petition was to
forestall foreclosure on lands belonging to the following neighbors:
Micajah Cross
Robert Pollock
Edward Williams
The surviving microfilmed “original” of this petition
appears to be a copy, for it is all in the same
handwriting and does not contain actual signatures, nor any "X" marks. Some of the names
are very difficult to decipher, and the transcription below is an initial
attempt. The original spelling as it appears on this petition has been
preserved. If you can improve on the reading and spelling of any name,
kindly share it with me.
