  • Imprint Number: 1799.065
  • Title: To the General Assembly ... inhabitants of the counties of Loudoun, Fairfax, Prince William & Fauquier ...
  • Sequence Number: 65
  • Year: 1799
  • Place Issued: Alexandria
  • Issuing Press: Uncertain
  • Author: Inhabitants of Loudoun, Fairfax, Prince William, & Fauquier Counties.
  • Notes: Signers ask that the District Court at Dumfries not be relocated to Centerville, as petitioned by others (see 1799.063 & 1799.064).
    Sheet lacks colophon; the only recorded copy held in the state archives at the Library of Virginia is dated at end in manuscript "Dec. 16, 1799" by a clerk of the House of Delegates, indicating date of submission, and so of production; residences of petitioners indicates that this broadside probably issued from one of the two Alexandria presses that were then in operation, but without other evidence, attributing a specific press is purely speculative.
