Notes
One of many petitions received in years before the December 1811 Assembly asking changes to the Chancery Court system; no action was taken on any of them until that session. Only known copies are in the state archives at the Library of Virginia; they were received by the Assembly on December 6, 1810; all are identical typographically, but lack colophons; the LVA ascribes them to a Fredericksburg press; from spring 1805 through early 1811, Timothy Green conducted the only printing office there, hence the attribution here. Copy filmed by the Early American Imprints Series has blank completed for Jefferson County.
