"A court of civil and criminal jurisdiction, established at this place by J. Todd, Esq., under the authority of Virginia, in June, 1779, and who eked out their existence to the summer of 1787,
107
HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.
have, during that long period, continued to make large grants of lands, even by their own acknowledgments, and without more authority for so doing than is set forth. Many of the conces- sions which have been exhibited to me, in their name, they deny to have had any knowledge of; and, indeed, there are, some rea- sons to conclude they may have been forged in the office of Mr. Le Grand, before mentioned, who was a servant of the court, and in whose handwriting the deeds have all been made out.
"I cannot find, from any information I have been able to acquire, that Mr. Todd ever delegated any power of granting land in this country, or, in fact, that he was endowed with it himself. On the contrary, I find by the acts of Virginia of 1779, that the lands northwest of the River Ohio were expressly excepted from location, and that it was declared no person should be allowed pre-emption, or any benefit whatever, from settling this side the said river; and the Governor was desired to issue his proclamation requiring all persons to remove themselves, and, in case of disobedience, to make use of an armed force. This is not to extend to French and other old inhabitants actually settled on, or before that time, in the villages of Post Vincennes and upon the Mississippi. It appears, however, by a proclamation of Mr. Todd's, given at Kaskaskias, the 15th day of June, 1779, that a kind of authority was meant to be implied somewhere in the country, to grant lands, not only upon the river bottoms and prairies under the French restrictions, but in large quantities, and with more latitude at a distance therefrom; and twenty-six thousand acres have been granted away from that time to 1783, inclusive; and to the year 1787 (when Gen. Harmar checked the abuse) twenty-two thousand more, though generally in parcels of four hundred acres, though some are much smaller, and do not exceed the size of house lots. The court has also granted to individuals, in some instances, tracts of many leagues square; but a sense of the impropriety of such measures has prevented the bringing forward those claims. Notwithstanding that some of the four hundred acres and small lots, on or before 1783, yet the authority whence they were derived has been such, that I could not consider them as "rightful claims." They are, how- ever, sir, in a few instances, under considerable cultivation and
7
108
HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.
improvement, and some of the plantations, and many of the small lots, which have been granted by the court since that time, are now cultivated in tillage, and have been possessed by the present claimants, at much expense; but by far the greatest number of them were obtained at the cost of office fees only, and remain to this hour in a state of nature, or with no other alteration than has been necessary to convert them into sugar camps.
"Upon the subject of those lands, sir, a petition has been pre- sented to me by, and in behalf of, eighty Americans, setting forth that they were induced to come into this country by the court of Post Vincennes, with every assurance of their author- ity to make grants. That, in good faith of this, they have · formed their establishments at considerable expense, and must be involved in ruin, unless the generosity of Congress shall permit their holding them. The French inhabitants have also petitioned me upon the subject of court grants; some of which are now under cultivation, at no small expense and labor. I beg leave, sir, to lay the situation of those people before Government, most respectfully representing that the welfare and prosperity of a number of industrious and good citizens in this Territory must depend very much upon their order. A petition has also been presented by the inhabitants of Vincennes, praying a confirma- tion of their commons, comprehending about two thousand four hundred acres of good, and three thousand acres of sunken lands. They have been, it appears, thirty years under a fence, which is intended to confine their cattle within its boundaries, and keep them out of their wheat fields; for, contrary to the usage of farmers generally, the cattle are enclosed, and the culti- vated lands are left at large, except those parts which immedi- ately approach the commons. But this fence, and quiet posses- sion under the French and British Governments, they seem to imagine entitles them to a good prescriptive right. It has been the usage of the commandants to make all their grants in writ- ing; and, as this has not been produced, or any evidence of it, I think it my duty to refer the matter to Congress, as I am not authorized to decide upon it. One other petition, sir, I am con- strained to introduce. It has been signed by one hundred and thirty-one Canadian, French and American inhabitants, all
109

enrolled in the militia, setting forth that many of them were heads of families soon after the year 1783. That, from their situation, they are liable to, and willing to perform, an extraordi- nary proportion of military duty, and soliciting that Congress would be pleased to make them a donation of lands. In justice to the petitioners, I think it incumbent on me to observe, that the commanding officer of the regular troops here has been obliged, in some instances, to demand their services for convoys of provisions up the Wabash River; and, from the weakness of the garrison, and the present difficulties of communication with other posts and the Ohio, that he may have frequent occasion for their aid, which I have no doubt will be yielded at all times with the greatest cheerfulness.
" Before I close this letter, sir, I must take the liberty of rep- resenting to Congress, by desire of the citizens of this country, and as a matter which I humbly conceive they should be informed of, that there are, not only at this place, but in the several villages upon the Mississippi, considerable claims for supplies furnished the troops of Virginia, before and since 1783, which no person yet has been authorized to attend to, and which is very injurious to the interest and feelings of men who seem to have been exposed to a variety of distresses and impositions by characters pretend- ing to have acted under the orders of that government. The people of Vincennes have requested me to make known their sentiments of fidelity and attachment to the sovereignty of the United States, and the satisfaction they feel in being received into their protection, which I beg leave to communicate in their own words, by the copy of an address presented me on the 23d instant. If, in this long letter of report and representation, I may appear to have tediously dwelt upon the claims and preten- sions of the people of this country, I request, sir, that it may be attributed to that desire which I feel at all times, faithfully to ex- ecute the attentions necessary to individual interests, and the great duty I owe to government. With every sentiment of respect to your excellency and Congress, I have the honor to be, sir, your most obedient humble servant.

" TOWN AT POST VINCENNES, July 31, 1790. .
" Sir: From the best information I have been able to acquire, confirmed by the testimony of the gentlemen of the courts of quarter sessions of the peace and common pleas, as well as judge of probate, given me in the presence of yourself, Maj. Hamtramck, and Maj. Vigo, I believe the following to be an accurate list of the heads of families settled at Post Vincennes, on and before the year 1783, and residents here at this time; consequently they are entitled to the donation lands promised them by Congress; and you will please to consider this as your sufficient warrant for sur- veying and allotting them agreeably to the commission given you for that purpose. Patents will issue as soon as your returns are made into my office. WINTHROP SARGENT.
