THE ARGYLE PATENT AND ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS
Present day Americans can with difficulty realize the laborious steps by which their ancestors secured their first foothold upon the shores of this continent. To show how one by one the obstacles were over- come that stood between Laughlin Campbell's colonists and the estab- lishment of their homes in the Crown lands granted to them in the name of King George III., in eastern New York, the documentary evidence of that struggle, continued through an entire generation, is here for the first time brought together in print. The gathering of these documents has taken half a lifetime to accomplish and is a distinct service for from them may be gleaned much that is of personal interest to a great number of the descendants of the original grantees. It will be noted that in the time that elapsed between the original petition and the granting of the Patent some changes in names occur due to death, marriage and other causes. While the period of waiting tried the patience of the colonists it was providential that the lands were not at once thrown open, for those of limited means could not have maintained themselves upon the new land in the period before it became productive. C. M. M.
Document I

Document II
The foregoing petition not having been granted, the colonists resided elsewhere for a quarter of a century and on the 23d. of February 1763 certain of them again petitioned the Governor.
Petition by Alexander McNaughten, Neal Shaw, Ronald McDougall, Rich'd Campbell and one hundred others 23d. of February, 1763; The Report of the Council of the City of New York held the 2d. of March, 1763 and the Minute recording the granting of the Petition 21st. May, 1763.
To HIS EXCELLENCY the Honourable Robert Moncton Captain General and Govenour in Chief of the Province of New York and Territories thereon depending in America Vice Admiral of the same and Major General of his Majestys forces &c &c &c
THE PETITION of us the Subscribers HUMBLY SHEWETH
THAT some of your Petitioners are part of the fellow Emigrants of and others are descended from Persons now Deceased who also did emigrate with the Deceased Capt. Campbel from North Britain with design to form a Settlement in the Northern frontiers of this Province
THAT your Petitioners are informed that Donald Campbel George Campbel and James Campbel Sons of the said Capt. Campbel Have lately Preferred their humble Petition to your Excellency setting forth the General encouragement formerly given by the Government of this Province upon which the Aforesaid Emigration was founded the Obstructions that were raised against so laudible and useful a Design the Great distress and Poverty to which the Emigrants were reduced by the disappointment of their Scheme and the said Petitioners well grounded hopes of Effecting by the Assistance of Yoyr Present Peti- tioners and their relations in Argylshire the Settlement formerly in- tended on the Lands which the said Capt. Campbel had in view part whereof Sufficient for the Purpose are still Vacant. And therefore praying of your Excellency the Royal Grant to them the said Donald

APPENDIX
Campbel George Campbel and James Campbel and their Associates for one hunderd Thousand Acres in fee to be elected in one Tract on or near the Wood Creek between the falls of that Creek on the North and Batten Kill on the South a line Twenty Miles from Hudsons River on the East and that River the East side of Lake George and a South Line thence to Hudsons River on the West upon such Terms as your Excellency may think necessary to Prescribe.
AND Your Petitioners further beg leave to inform Your Excellency that the Government of this Province never treated the Said Captain Campbells fellow Emigrants as Dependants on him but as Principals in the Then intended Settlement as appears by the Copy of the Minutes of Council hereunto Annexed expressive of the favourable Intentions of the Government towards those Emigrants which however were Prevented from being carried into Execution by the last War which rendered a Settlement Impracticable in that part of the Country and together with the poverty of those Emigrants compelled them to abandon the Enterprise.
THAT as the late remarkable Success of his Majestys Arms in the Total reduction of Canada has removed every obstacle to a Settlement of that part of the Country your present Petitioners humbly beg leave to renew their aplication to the Government in favor of the said Emigration which your Petitioners Conceive the more necesssary as the said other Petitioners have never thought Proper to advise with Your Present Petitioners on the Subject matter of their said Petition how- ever proper they thought it to avail themselves of a pretended Asso- ciation with your present Petitioners on the subject matter thereof
THAT your Petitioners are informed that the said other Petitioners relying on the merit of their said Father which was common with that of his fellow Emigrants flatter themselves with an expectation of appropriating so large a proportion of the Lands which they Petition for as would not Leave a Quantity of Good Lands sufficient for the Encouragement of those whom they are pleased to call their Associates
That tho it is not the design of your Petitioners to endeavour at Obstructing the Bounty of the Crown in favor of the said other Petitioners yet it is humbly conceived that the very reasons offered by the latter will have weight to prevent any grant in their favor which would be inconsistent with the General Interest of those whom they call their Associates.
THAT many of your Present Petitioners and some of the Other Emigrants and their families tho they long felt the ill Effects of former Disappointments are at length by the Smiles of Providence on their honest endeavours not only capacitated to make larger Settlements for themselves than were Originally intended for each of the said Emigrants but are also able and willing to Assist the Others of their fellow Emigrants and their families whose Circumstances will require Aid in the Execution of the General plan Besides which as the fam-
300
THE ARGYLE DOCUMENTS
ilies of many of the Emigrants consist of Several Persons Grown to Maturity your Petitioners conceive that each parcel of One Thousand Acres will Speedily be Cantoned out into several farms and the Coun- try thereby most effectually Settled
YOUR PETITIONERS therefore most humbly pray your Excellency that the Royal Grant may issue either to your Present Petitioners and their other Emigrants and their families seperately or in Conjunction with the said other Petitioners for One Thousand Acres of Land in fee to each of your present Petitioners and the Other Emigrants now living and the families of those who are dead from and out of the Tract Above Mentioned and described in one entire Parcel within the Bounds following that is to say Beginning at or about the head of South Bay Extending Southerly to the Lands Petitioned for by Eben- ezer Lacey and his Associates to extend Eastwardly towards New Hampshire Line and Westerly by Mountains and Vacant Lands still vested in the Crown and that on such Terms as your Excellency in Your Superior Wisdom may think necessary to Prescribe
AND Your Petitioners shall ever Pray &c.
