WASHINGTON OBJECTS TO HAVING HIS CLAIM
JUMPED.
Letter 10 Michael Cresap.l
MOUNT VEgSoN, Septemr 2Sth
1773.
SIR, In my passage down the Ohio in the
Fall of this year 1170, ] made choice OF
piece of Land, being the first bottom on the
So East side the river above Capteening. as
also little above a place where the
effects of hurricane appear among the
Trees, and opposite to a Creek on the other
side near tho upper end Of the bottom,
calid Pipe Greek. The next Spring, when
Capt: Crawford went down the Ohio
TO survey, l desired him to run out
this Land for me, which he accordingly
did, & returned me the plat of it, as you may
see by the inclosed copy; intending as soon
Us Patent could be obtained, TO apply for
me. The summer following, hearing that
Doctor Brisco had taken possession of this
bottom (altho' inform of my claim TO it,.
wrote him letter of which the inclOsed is
q copy. And within these few days have
heard (the truth OF which know not that
you, upon the Doctors quitting of it, have
also taken possession OF IL. IL this infor-
nation be true, own can conceive no
reason why you or any other person should
attempt to disturb me in my claim 10 this
Land as have not, to my knowledge, in
jur'd or attempted to injure, any other man
in his pretensions TO Land in that country
1t is little hard, therefore, upon me that
can not be allowed TO hold this bottom
(Which is small one) in peace and quiet
ness, till legal right can be obtained,
which | always have been and still am
ready to pay for, "a soon as know to what
Office to apply would feign hope that my
information respecting your taking posses
sion of this Land, is without foundation; as
should be sorry TO enter into ALLEGATION OF
this matter with you or any other Gentle
man but as / conceiv'd that had as good
a right TO make choice Of this bottom, as any
other person had as / am sure that l am
the first that did so, and have had it sur
vey'd so as to ascertain the bounds, up
wards of two years ago, 1 am resolved not
to rclinquish my claim to it-Rut if you
have made any Improvements thereon not
knowing OF my clam, l will very readily pay
you the full value thereof being,
Sir
Your most humble Servant
