Hi! I found in my old records a note (unfortunately source not noted): William Duncan, b 1762 Ireland; Naturalization petition dated 23 Feb 1814 (living in Pendleton district). I contacted the National Archives and they said that such petitions were in the courts that dealt with them. Also the Archives indicated that this might be a federal court or a state court (and rarely a city court). Does anyone have an idea about where I might seek this petition?
