Proof of a Surry County, NC and
Cumberland County, KY Connection
A Petition to
the NC General Assembly dated October 7, 1807 containing names from
Cumberland County, KY
I have copied this directly from a photocopy of the Petition, however,
due to difficulty in deciphering the handwriting, some errors may be
contained. It appears that many of the signers used titles next to their
names, such as Esq. for Esquire, Juner or other close approximations for
Junior, Sener for Senior. Two occasions leave me wondering: once under
Thompson the word Son follows, which could also mean Senior and once
what appears to be the word Quaker appears. First name abbreviations,
where possible to read are given as written, but there were some I
didn't recognize. In those cases, I have made note next to it.
Where I could make out a partial name, I have
included legible letters of that name, where a name was completely
undreadable, I have drawn a line.
Spelling is exactly as I have read it on the document, as is
punctuation. This list is somewhat extensive, please use your Edit/Find
