Petition seeking County from parts of Frederick, Loudoun, & Fauquier.
- imprint_number: 1815.067
- title: Notice Is hereby given,—that a petition will be presented to the next assembly ... praying for ... a new county ...
- sequence_number: 67
- year: 1815
- place_issued: Virginia
- issuing_press: Uncertain
- author: Citizens of Frederick, Fauquier, & Loudoun.
- notes: Title is actually a notice detailing the partition that accompanied manuscript subscriber lists; all were submitted on December 9, 1815; area described covers much of modern-day Clarke County, which was not formed until 1836, demonstrating the Assembly's deferral in 1815.
Sheets lack colophon; majority of those signing are from Frederick County, so suggesting a Winchester origin for this title; however, the possibility of a Leesburg origin cannot be discounted, so the indeterminacy reported here.
