- This is an undated petition signed by many settlers concerned with the well-being of the frontier inhabitants near Moses Parker's place, twelve miles above Fort Twiggs on the Oconee River in Georgia. They suggest that the cover and crossing afforded in this area of the river would provide ample protection to spies and "prevent the savages from any advantages in attacking the said fort."
