Petition seeking a State-Chartered Bank at Winchester.

• imprint_number: 1816.144
• title: To the honorable the Senate and House of Delegates ... petition of the undersigned, inhabitants of Frederick County and the adjacent county ... pray the Legislature to grant …
• sequence_number: 144
• year: 1816
• place_issued: Winchester
• issuing_press: Uncertain
• author: Inhabitants of Frederick County.
• notes: Petitioners request for creating a new bank at Winchester was successful; it was one of the two banks established by this session of Assembly (Chap. XXXIX of the Acts of November 1816 Assembly); the other bank was at Wheeling.
  Sheet lacks colophon; only known copy, held in the state archives at the Library of Virginia, is dated in manuscript on November 19, 1816, the date it was received by the House; context clearly indicates a Winchester origin, but whether this broadside issued from the press of John Heiskell or Jonathan Foster is unclear, so the indeterminacy here.
