Notes
Petition asks for removal of District Court from Dumfries (in eastern Prince William) to Centerville (in western Fairfax); dated at end in manuscript "Dec. 8, 1797" by a clerk of the House of delegates, indicating date of submission. Only known copy is held in the state archives at the Library of Virginia. Sheet lacks printer credit; likely an Alexandria imprint, but such an attribution is speculative.
