BEDFORD COUNTY PETITION


MEMORIAL OF INHABITANTS OF BEDFORD COUNTY
May 19, 1778

The Inhabitants of Dublin Township, To the honourable Assembly, the Representatives of the e State of Pennsylvania:

We, your humble Petitioners, deeply impressed with a sense of danger to which we are exposed by the Indians, beg leave in a suppliant manner to lay our case before you, praying that in your deliberations, you may endeavour to adopt proper measures for our safety and protection. You are no doubt informed that the Savages have already begun to murder and destroy the property of the inhabitants upon the frontiers of this State; that those who have escaped their barbarities, fearing least they may also fall prey into their hands, are flying to the more secure parts of the Country..."
