Hi All! Leigh I hope you don't mind my using the list for this! AM also cc'ing this to MS! Ellen, could you please see if anyone involved with MS might help with this? This pettion was in a file marked Wayne Co., AL. Thanks! Also for the MS Archives feel free to post this if you like. Okay, first I want to thank those who responded to my asking about Wayne Co., AL (MT) Below is the petition which gives a vague description of where it is/was located. I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me if this might be the old Wayne Co.,AL or if this was the Wayne Co. that did become a part of MS. Thanks! Petition to Congress by Inhabitants of Wayne County, M.T. (HF:12 Cong., 1 sess.: DS) (9 OCT 1811) To the Honourable the Congress of the United States, the humbel petition of the undersigned, settlers on the eastern side of the Chickasawhay or Pascagola River, in the County of Wayne, in the Mississippi Territory, --- respectfully sheweth. That your petitions a few years since formed a settlement in this remote and detached country, distant from all means of general information as to events passing in the world, and even as to measures and regulations adopted by government for their own peculiar advantage. That when the benevolence of the national legislature extended to your petitioners the priviledge of obtaining permissions into rights of pre-emption; your petitioners were either too ignoratnt of the nature and conditions of the regulations in their behalf to avail themselves of them in time, or too poor (with trade interrupted by Spanish exactions) to make the necessary payments in time required by law. Some indeed were discouraged from repairing to the land office, by the information that others who had acutally been there, had met with no officer under the United States, ready to receive their money and to give them the necessary acquittances. Your petitioners, however, flattered themselves that at the approaching land sales, they would be able to secure respectively the lands on which after so many years of residence, they made considerable improvements. But the unprepared state of the lands within the limits of the old county of Washington (of which the county of Wayne made a part) having rendered it necessary to postpone the public sales; your petitioners have suffered a new disappointment, and are still tossed about on the waves of uncertainty. Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray that the right of pre-emption may be renewed to the settlers in the county of Wayne, residing on the eastern side of the Chickasawhay or Pascagola River. And whereas some of the settlers have erected grist and saw mills to the great convenience of the inhabitants, as well as to the augmentation of the value of public property lying adjacent, and such mills are sometimes situated on large fractions, which it would be out of the power of the proprietors to purchase:-- your petitioners farther pray that the owners of such mills may be gratified with the priviledge of pr-emption, --and that where the improvements lie in large fraction, --they may be allowed to divide such fractions by extending the sectional lines, withoutbeing obliged to purchase the whole thereof for the purpose of securing improvements,--which have alone nearly exhausted their resources.

If you have a mailing list, feel free to post this annoucement to it! Post an annoucement on your county page! You may ask that the records be sent directly to me <CUttstreee@NEt1inc.net> or to you and then forward them to me. Let's work together and make the ALGENWEB ARCHIVES the best it can be!!!

As we get underway in this new year, I've gotten a couple of notes from people placing their counties up for adoption. Pat Irons will be giving up Covington and Crenshaw counties to concentrate more on Coffee and Barbour. Dot Tribble is unable to continue to maintain Montgomery County. Glenda Savage tells me that she is very busy with other things and must resign from ALGenWeb, thus making Blount and St. Clair counties available for a new CC. Dot has graciously contributed all of the pages and data currently on the site at http://www.rootsweb.com/~almontgo/ -- the new CC can simply assume ownership where it is or may move the pages to another location. Glenda is going to keep her current Blount and St. Clair pages up. The new CC may link to the data there. I'll be creating temporary pages for them as place-holders until a new CC comes onboard. The CC who takes over Covington and/or Crenshaw will need to contact Pat Irons to find out what can be done to either link to her information or move it to another web site. If you have a particular longing to take over one of these counties, please let me know. I'm eager to recruit some new volunteers, so don't feel badly if you don't feel you have the time to take on additional responsibilities. I'll be making an announcement to the various county lists later this week. Regards, Leigh

Lygia, Concerning Wayne Co., AL - MS Territory, I have not heard of a Wayne County in AL, but there is one in Mississippi, right on the boarder. Mississippi did not become a State until 1817, but Wayne County was formed in 1809 from Washington County. Washington County was mostly in present day Alabama, but included a section in present Mississippi. When the petitions were being signed for new Counties before Mississippi Statehood, the exact boundary between it and Alabama had not been set. I suspect the petition you found was for Wayne County, MS. Rod Bush
