H ^B BH '.. SOME OLD LAND GRANTS Made to Colonists ol Township of Williamsburg. Editor County Record:? The enclosed petition of some of the early inhabitants of the township of Williamsburg in colonial times is of so much value to the writer, and possibly others who are descendants of the petitioners, that I am sending it for publication, in order that it may not be lost. By way of explanation,let us remember that the early settlers had a great deal of trouble in securing titles to their land grants, these lands having been run out by -AI i- : rii. owners oeiore tne cumiox ui uie euiuniBts. Many of them actually removed,but many of them afterward had their titles perfected and remained. We know that Gavin Witberepoon. John McCullough, James McCleilan and William Pressley did not emigrate. John Fulton was a member of the Georgia Legislature in 1782-84: Fulton county, in which Atlanta ia situated, was named for him.
