Petition of Wellwood Waugh "That your memorialist having engaged John Bell and William Curry, lately come to this Country with several other families shortly expected, to settle on the lands leading from your memorialists’ house to Onslow, but from the particular circumstances of no roads having been cleared and no Rivers or communication by water, the Surveyors by these instructions have been prevented from laying out the Ground, Your memorialist having engaged to settle a considerable tract of these lands with a view of its being of General benefit to the Province, humbly solicits such assistance from the Honble House as may enable him to make such Roads and communications as to your Wisdom may appear necessary to facilitate the settlement." Signed.
