• Notes

  South Carolina Council Journal Pages 100-101. Meeting of Wednesday A. M. the 20th May 1747 Read the petition of William Graham, planter, humbly shewing that the petioner and his family arrived here from Ireland about eleven years ago, in the ship called the 'New Built' of Liverpool, that on application to the then lieutenant govenor for land, 450 acres were ordered to be laid out to him in Williamsburgh township by virtue of family right, whereby a precept from the surveyor generals office issued to Anthony Williams for running out the said tract, the charges to be made by the public, as it was on ye survey in favour of the petitioner, not withstanding he was very often solicited so to do, but never complied with the surveyor Generals order there, not withstanding ye Petioner from the encouragement he had of obtaining a grant from the honorable board, did settle and improve the said land, and at present lives on it. The Petioner therefore humbly prays that he has five or six times traveled down about 60 miles on foot to Charles Town in order to have this affair executed, occasioneda lways by the false misrepresentations of the said Williams, that at last year excellency & honors may compel ye said Williams to do ye petioner justice and that he make a return of ye surveyor so that a grant may pass, whereupon ye following certificate of the surveyor general was produced and read. South Carolina. I hereby certify that William Graham with 60 other persons obtained a warrant of survey directed to James St. John survey or general dated 25 Aug 1736, the quantity assigned to the said Graham 450 acres in Williamsburg township and yet no return of a plat thereof had been ever made to the surveyor generals office; to my knowledge by Anthony Williams who surveyed ye same many complaints of said Williams neglect of duty in such cases are dayly made, by people who apply to me for their plats, upon his information them that he returned them to me, when last in Charles town, that I have not seen him these 5 years past; a summons was ordered by his excellency and honorble council for his attendance to answer ye complaint of Archibald Campbell for whose brotherWilliam ye said Williams surveyed some lands but after the death of sd William Campbell Williams returned a plat of different lands by Archibald Campbell guardian to his brother William's children. May ye 29th 1747. G.Hunter Surveyor General.
