the new built [sic] of Liverpool, that on application to the then lieu't gov'r for land,
450 acres were ordered to be laid out to him in Williamsburgh Town'p by virtue of family
right, whereby a precept from the Survey'r General's office issued to Anthony Williams
for running out the said Tract, the charges to be made by the Public, as it was on y'e
survey in favour of the Petitioner, notwithstanding he was very often solicited so to do,
but never complied with the Survey'r Genl's order there, notwithstanding y'e Pet'r from
the Encouragement he had of obtaining a Grant from the Hon'ble Board, did settled [sic]
and improve the said land, and at present lives on it. The Pet'r therefor humbly prays
that he has five or six times traveled down ab't 60 miles on foot to Chs Town in order to
have this affair executed, occasioned always by the false misrepresentations of the s'd
Williams, that at last yr' Excell'cy & Honors may compel y'e s'd William's to do y'e Pet'r
Justice and that he make a return of y'e Surveyor so that a grant may pass, whereupon y'e
following certificate of the Surv'r Gen'r was produced and read.
So. Carolina. I hereby certify that William Graham with 60 other persons obtained a
warrant of survey directed to James St. John Surveyor Gen' dated 25 Aug 1736, the quantity
assigned to the said Graham 450 acres in Williamsburg Town'p and y't no return of a Plat
thereof had been ever made to the Survey'r Generals Office; to my knowledge by
Anthony Williams who surveyed y'e same many Complaints of S'd Williams neglect of duty
in such cases are dayly made, by people who apply to me for their plats, upon his
information them that he returned them to me, when last in Charles Town, that I have not
seen him these 5 years past; a Summons was ordered by his Excell'cy and Hon'ble Council
for his attendance to answer y'e Complaint of Archibald Campbell for whose Brother William
y'e said Williams surveyed some lands but after the death of s'd William Campbell Williams
returned a plat of different lands by Archibald Campbell guardian to his Brother William's
children. May y'e 29th 1747. G. Hunter Serv. Gen'l.
