Notes
Petition concerns boundaries of court districts in the northern Shenandoah Valley. Petition is dated in manuscript "Nov. 12, 1796" by the clerk of the House of Delegates and bears 48 signatures at end. The only known copy is held in the state archives at the Library of Virginia. Sheet lacks printer credit; geographical location suggests either a Martinsburg or Winchester origin, but a definitive assignment cannot be made from this document alone.
