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.
Very truly yours,
S A Grahast.

abstract
From Proceedings of the Governor
and Council of Georgia, Vol VIII,
page 46.
Savannah, Ga, May 9, 1759.
Read a petition of James McClelland,
John James, James Jordon
(Gordon?), Gavin Witherspoon, John
McCullough, John McClelland, Wm
Pressley and David Witharspoon in
behalf of themselves and other inhabitants
of the township of Williamsburg,
on Black river, South
Carolina, setting forth that the petitioners
and others, consisting of not
less than one hundred settlers, were
desirous to remove with their families
and become inhabitants of this
province and further stating that,
they could not remove at once and
asking for a reserve of lands on the
Altamaha on the north side between
"Cut Head creek and the mouth of
Ohoope" to be held for them until
the first of March, 1760. Petition
was granted.
Vol VIII, pg 236. Feb S. 1760.
James McClelland, Samuel Fulton
and John McClelland set forth that
they were three of the Williamsburgpeople
and that by reason of sickness
among them and the expedition
against the Cherokee Indians they
had been prevented from coming to
settle the said land within the time
allotted, thereupon praying that five
hundred acres of land each at the
mouth of the Altamaha be reserved
for the petitioners until December
next. Granted.
On February 18, 1760, the above
petitioners asked for additional land
and the same day was presented a
similar petition by the following
named persons: Petition of Gavin
Witherspoon, John Witherspoon, Robert
Witherspoon, David Witherspoon,
William McCalla, John Fleming,
Thos King, David Fulton, Wm
McCullough, Nathaneal McCullough
and John Witherspoon, Jr, setting
forth that petitioners were a part
of the settlers in Williamsburg in
South Carolina, for whom certain
lands on the Altamaha from "Cat
Head creek to the Hohoopee" were
reserved until March next. That by
reason of sickness among them and
the expedition against the Cherokee
Indians,the petitioners had been prevented,
etc, praying that the same
might stand until December next,
1760. That is to say,for Gwin Witherspoon
one thousand acres and for
each of the others 500 or 600 acres,
each. Petition granted.
