Although this is refering to "Boston", it contains numerous
surnames of which someone on the list may be interested.
Here is a petition from the town of Wrightsborough, Georgia
concerning the Boston Tea Party.
"We, the inhabitants of the town of Wrightsborough and
places
adjacent,
understanding that fourteen persons have drawn up several
resolutions
respecting the disputes between Great Britain and the town
of Boston,
con-
cerning the destroying of a quantity of tea, the property of
the East
India
Company, and have published them as the act of the Province,
and which
we
look upon as a great imposition, having no knowledge of
them 'till after
they were passed: therefore we do, in this public manner,
deny passing
any
concerning them, and disapprove of them altogether, such
proceedings as
a
few acting for the whole without their knowledge, we
apprehend being
con-
trary to the rights and priveleges of every British subject.
