United States, Georgia, Chatham County, Ossabaw Island, 31.80105, -81.09455United States, Georgia, McIntosh County, Sapelo Island, 31.39745, -81.278711760/1770This incomplete and undated document is a petition on behalf of Isaac Levy to unspecified royal authorities regarding Levy's claims to land sold to the Crown (specifically through Henry Ellis, Royal Governor of Georgia, 1757-1760) by Thomas Bosomworth. The document refers to an earlier petition to the Crown dated December 20, 1759, in which Levy claimed to hold the deed to the islands of Sapelo, Ossabaw, and St. Catherine's off the coast of Georgia. These islands had purportedly belonged to Thomas Bosomworth and his wife Mary (a.k.a Mary Musgrove or Coosaponakeesa). According to this document, Levy's request for a postponement of a hearing scheduled for January 1760 was never granted and the agreement between the Bosomworths and Henry Ellis dated April 19, 1760 therefore came well after his claims to the land were known to the royal authorities.
