[R. 5- 70] [Petition from the Frontier Towns, 1776.]


State of New Hampshire - To the Honº. The Council & House of Representatives of the State of New Hampshire -


The Petition of a Number of the Inhabitants of the Severall Towns at & Near the Greate Cohoss, Humbly Sheweth, That your Petitioners living remote from the Popolus Towns within this State & on the Frontire adjoining to that part of the Continent now in full possession of our Enemies, are greatly exposed to their Mersiless resentment & being apprehensive that the Indians may be employed to disturb us Petitiond your Honours & the House of Representatives, at their late Session ' for a Company of Soldiers to be Quartered among us, which in your great goodness and attention to the Generall good of the State you complyd with, & the said Company is now Stationed among us, which tends greatly to quiet our apprehensions of Danger & render our Situation much safer than it wou'd otherwise be, there- by enabling us to Continue on our Farms & to cultivate the same for the support of ourselves & Families which otherwise would be reduced to want & wretchedness especially many of us who have no other way of Subsisting but by the produce of our Infant Settle- ments in this part of the Country -


But inasmuch as the appointment of said Company was for Three months only which time will expire sometime in the month of October, when we shall be left in the same defenceless State we were in before the said appointment. Your Petitioners Therefore Humbly Request that, your Honours The Council & the Honble. House would still Con- tinue to afford us that Protection that our peculiar Situation evidently requires -

pleat that fort we the inhabitants had Built, with storhouse and Bar- racks that we might have had some place of Refuge to flea to with our familys att any Suden Danger or Surprise - But Notwithstand- ing all our Expectations & Hopes of Safty we are unhapily Disap- pointed - for our fort stands just as Capt Eams found it without the least alteration Except Age - Thus we do desire you the sd Capt Bucknam in the behalf of the inhabitants to inform the Honorable Court of our Setuation that we are Now in, and Prehaps they may think we shall Be in a much worse Condition if we are Driven into our Naked fort without anything to seport Nature or Cover our Heads which if there is No Better Managements than there is att Present No Dought Will Be the Case -


Theirfore we would advise you to Present these Lines to the Hon- orable Committee of Safety and also to wait on the Court for their Pleasure and Determination and to Receive such orders as they in their Wisdom shall Direct & make as Peedy Return as Posable
