- This is an undated petition from several frontier settlers living eight miles below Fort Phillips on the Oconee River. They recommend that a blockhouse and fort be built in the vicinity for protection of those inhabitants who have large farms. The petitioners claim that many of the settlers have vacated the area and "the savages" have burned and destroyed crops.
