Petitioners for Reduction of Constitutional Limits of Jackson County, TN-1806

Transcribed by Jane Hembree Crowley
From TSLA Microfilm, Roll 3, Legislative Petitions, 1805-1812

The Prayer of your Humble petitioners showeth that they Labour under many inconveniences by not having their County (to Wit Jackson) reduced to its Constitutional limits and their seat of Justice permanently fixed, relying on your clemency we hope your Honorable body will pass a Law to that affect and fix our seat of Justice at Fort Blount. And your Petitioners in duty bound will ever pray on. Jackson County, 8th July 1806.
