"Humbly and respectfully showeth, that your honorable petitioners have been settlers for some time past, on the several lots of land hereinafter annexed to their names respectively, and have made improvements thereon by clearing and cultivating the land, and erecting buildings on the same. Your petitioners further beg to observe that said improvements constitute nearly the whole of their property, to be compelled, therefore, to abandon them, would bring ruin on themselves and their families."
"Your Petitioners, therefore, humbly pray that your Honor and Council will be favorably pleased to consider their situation, and put an order allowing them the exclusive privilege of purchasing said lots of land at the same price which other ungranted lands, in the same Township, may hereafter sell for at public sale."
"And in duty bound will ever pray."
