Note: First number listed is the page in the volume the information is on.
Second number (#15) is the page of the court record the information came
from. Everything is copied exactly from the book except where I could not
find the name. If it says to see B enjamin, then you look under Benjamin
and the page. I didn't have the correct key for English Pounds so I spelled
out pounds. Beware of typos.
Any questions give me a hollar over the email.

Companies, humble sheweth: That your petitioners are daily troubled by John
O'Neal, a person of evil fame, who, being ill natured, evil designing,
citigious, wicked man, he often takes occasion to come to the houses of some
of your petitioners and then designedly raises and foments disputes with
them in which he makes use of the most opprobrious and abuseful words he can
invent, and as he is bound to the peace, dares any one to strike him,
therefore, should any of us strike or beat him we know not what might be the
consequence as we are unacquainted with the law and his usual manner
threatens to shoot us if he sees any of us out of our own plantations, that
he will do us all the damage he can by killing our horses, cattle, &c., and
when reproved of his misbehavior he tells us that if he does any action, be
it ever so bad, that he will be cleared by this Court for two pieces of
eight. His behavior is such that your petitioners are afraid to leave their
families to go about their lawful affairs, not knowing but he may fulfill
his threats before our return by killing our wifes or children, burning our
houses, or doing some other irreparable damage, and , as doubtless your
Worships is well acquainted with the behavior of this malicious man, we hope
you will take our case into consideration and fall upon some method to
hinder him from being guilty of such outrages and irregularities for the
future. That we, being subjects to his Majesty and the laws of the

your petitioners, as in duty bound, shall ever pray. --Daniel Harrison,

day extends as far, etc., the corner of Samuel Wilkins, and that of Green &
Co., under whom said Wilkins claims he has ever since been well acquainted
with the lands, etc.; that the lines were not marked until the patent
issued, and the reason Wood gave for it was that when he was about to survey
the same, he himself was damned drunk and the rest concerned were in the
same condition. etc. (Signed) Daniel Harrison. 16th December, 1767.
Daniel Smith, gent., aged about thirty-seven years: About 12 years ago he

which John Wilkins, son of Samuel, paid Harrison 5 pounds . Thomas Lewis
deposes: That about 1745, talking with Col. James Wood about the difficulty
of finding corners on protracted plots when the survey afterwards came to be
made, said Wood told this deponent how lucky he had been in a matter of this
kind in a plot that he had made for McCay, Hite and Green, on the waters of
Cook's Creek, for that he had only run the lines along the courses of the
creek and protracted all the other lines and supposed corners which, where
an actual survey was made by him after the patent issued, he found trees
agreeable to most of the supposed corners which he had mentioned in the
protracted plat, or nearly corresponding thereto, which deponent afterwards
found to be the case on a survey made by him to determine a suit formerly
depending between the said parties. This day Patrick Quin came, etc., and
says that Capt. Daniel Harrison is very ailing; his is afraid that he will
died very soon. (Signed)Abraham Smith. 18th June, 1767 Elaborate survey
