Notes
Only copy known extant is held in the state archives at the Library of Virginia; dated at end in manuscript "Dec. 6, 1798" by a clerk of the House of Delegates, indicating submission date. Sheet lacks printer credit; location of road sought by petitioners indicates that this broadside issued from either Fredericksburg (closest press to Culpeper County) or Alexandria (road terminus), but without other evidence an attribution is impracticable.
