Notes
a. Note:   http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/data/ms+index+317661+F Letter [ca. 1795]in the hand of Richard Harrison re Adam Cloud. Not dated. Folio 675 Adams County, MS Submitted by Houston Tracy, Jr. Note: Text in English, but ink has severely bled-through from the reverse side of the paper. In the hand of Richard Harrison and not dated. Houston Tracy, Jr. Folio 675 I was to hear Cloud the other Sunday and was very much surprised to hear him speak as he did, he made mention to his Sermon that he did not know how soon it might be that there might be a stop put to their enjoying their religion in publick and I thought his conversation in his Sermon was rather influencing the Minds of the People and I recalled took his Text agreeable to it, he urged them to hold out at the Risk of lives and property it appeared to me that in case Government thought proper to seize them he wanted the people to enforce it. I never was more surprised in my life to hear such language from any Man who was so favoured as to be permitted to speak in publick. I can prove all I say. I am really afraid both him and Richard Curtis will corrupt the Minds of the People if there is not a stop put to them instead of quieting the People, they are inflaming them. I first thought to of mentioned the matter to his Excellency, but again I concluded to you would be sufficient, if required, I can be more full on the subject. I am D??fer with much respect your Humble Servt. [signed] Richard Harrison Note: It is not once or twice, but always is upon his same subject, more or less. R.

Those that now remain on the Public Lands are of the poorest class of People and on land not of sufficient value to induce purchasers and that their little improvement add so much to the value of the land: and were the occupants possessed of the means, no doubt many of them would purchase But what makes their distress the more sensibly felt, is, that they are ordered to remove from the Public Land in consequence of their inability to pay When at the same time the United States are in arrears to them for services rendered both in the Indian & British wars some of whom laid down their lives while in the service of their Country whose widows & orphan children are now dependent on their friends and a grateful Country for subsistence Humanity forbids that their hardships should be increased. Your memorialists are well aware of the claim that the State of Georgia has on the faith of the United States in carrying into effect their agreement and cession entered into with the State of Georgia & that they cannot intefere in giving any relief in the premises without a violation of that faith or the assent of Georgia Your memorialists flatter themselves that the State of Georgia will not hesitate a moment to give their assent to a measure having such strong claims on their humanity more especially when it is understood that the settlers on the Public Lands are far the greater part their own children the decendants of Georgia- Now, the prayer of your memorialists is that one years indulgence may be given to the settlers on Public Lands before they are removed except by purchase; in which time they will in all probability be in some degree relived. And your memorialists as in duty bound will ever pray &c Micajah Davis John Cockerham Sr John Dixon Hardy Coward Roger Dunn Thos Sellers Thos.
