United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.500181760This is a petition dated 1760 from Isaac Levy to the King of England. Levy asks the king to consider his claim to the islands of Sapelo, Ossabaw, and St. Catherine's in the colony of Georgia and to determine if, in fact, he is the rightful owner. According to Levy, he purchased the islands from Thomas and Mary Bosomworth (a.k.a. Mary Musgrove or Coosaponakeesa) in October 1754, but later learned that Thomas Bosomworth had entered into a treaty with the Crown (specifically Henry Ellis, Royal Governor of Georgia, 1757-1760) which ceded the same islands to the Crown. Levy asks the king to either restore his rights to these lands or compensate him for them.
