1801 Petition to Congress from Connecticut Claimants (Batch 1)
The Susquehanna Company Papers, an 11 volume set edited by Robert J. Taylor.
The Susquehanna Company purchased title from the State of Connecticut to disputed lands in northeastern Pennsylvania, and then sold parcels to individuals (the "Connecticut claimants").
In 1801, the Connecticut claimants presented a petition to the U.S. Congress, asking for legislative intervention and to ensure that the U.S. Supreme Court had appellate jurisdiction.
The petition was in response to a 1795 statute by the Pennsylvania legislature, "An act to prevent intrusions on lands, within the counties of Northampton, Northumberland, and Luzerne," as well as an 1801 supplementary act. One of the punishments under these laws was expulsion from Pennsylvania.
The Petition is included in Volume 11, Pages 230-245, and was signed by the following persons (among others):
Daniel Gould (p. 238)
Eliza Gould (p. 238)
William Gould (p. 238)
Jabez Gerould (p. 240)
James Gerould (p. 240)
Dorris Loomis (p. 241)
Elias Loomis (p. 239)
Wright Loomis (p. 241)
Abner Murray (p. 241)
Noah Murray (p. 243)
Noah Murray Jr. (p. 241)
John Redington (p. 241)
Abner Seelye (p. 239)
Justus Seelye (p. 239)
Justus A. Seelye (p. 239)
Michael Seelye (p. 242)
The Seelye (Seely or Seeley) family is important because they married into the Redington's.
Jacob Redington's daughter, Eveline (or Emeline) married Joab Seely, Sr., who became a minister and abolitionist in Vermont.
