Please do provide the names of the petitioners on both lists, below.
The information should be helpful to others for many reasons.

Subject: Col. James Williams Petitions


I have recently obtained a photocopy of a petition circulated before
1780 in support of Colonel James Williams who was killed at the
Battle of Kings Mountain. I have seen it called the Col. James
Williams Petition and the Little River Brigade Petition. One of the
originals is in the South Caroliniana Library and another is at Duke
University. The copy that I have (from the South Caroliniana Library)
is signed by 64 men, who _may_ have been from the area around
what is now Spartanburg Co. The one at Duke (of which I have a
transcript) has the signatures of 24 men from Laurens Co. It is my
impression (correct me if I'm wrong) that a signatures on this
petition would provide extremely good evidence for Revolutionary
War service. If there is any interest in a list of the names on these
petitions, I will be happy to provide them to the list.
