    • Lewis and Richard Collins, "History of Kentucky," (Covington, KY: 1878), v. II, p 510:

      "The Petition of the inhabitants and some of the intended settlers of that part of North America now denominated Transylvania, humbly sheweth:

      Whereas some of your petitioners became adventurers in that country from the advantageous reports of their friends who first explored it; and others since, allured by the specious show of the easy terms on which the land was to be purchased of those who style themselves proprietors, have, at great expense and many hardships, settled there. But your petitioners have been greatly alarmed at the late conduct of those gentlemen, in advancing the price of the purchase money. At the same time they have increased the fees of entry and surveying to a most exorbitant rate. And your petitioners have been more justly alarmed at such unaccountable and arbitrary proceedings, as they have lately learned that the said lands were included in the cession or grant of all that tract which lies on the south side of the river Ohio.

      We humbly expect and implore to be taken under the protection of the honorable Convention of the Colony of Virginia, of which we cannot help thinking ourselves a part, and request your kind interposition in our behalf.

      December, 1775, Harrodsburg"
