the King. Refer to previous petition for assistance "in this cruel

distress we have made application to the Colonies on the main,
but all the succours we can promise ourselves upon our own
interest or are able to maintain at our own expence are by much
too little to subdue soe many powerful Nations. Therefore we
humbly supplicate your Majestie to issue forth your Royal
Command to your Governments on the Continent more particularly to Virginia to give us such a timely assistance of men and
arms as they are capable of affording, and may be cautioned not
to supply the Indians with any ammunition or warlike stores
but immediately declare warr against those savage Indian
Nations that have soe cruelly and treacherously murdered your
Majesties subjects," etc. Signed, Charles Craven. Governr., Wm.
Rhett, Speaker. 1 p. [C.O. 5, 382. No. 16.] |

720. Petition of Lords Proprietors of Carolina to the King.
Eight or ten thousand Indians, without cause or declaration of
war, have invaded South Carolina, barbarously tortured and
killed the traders amongst them (v. May 8th), destroyed over 200
houses, and compelled the inhabitants to seek refuge in Charlestown, etc. There are not more than 1,500 white men capable of
bearing arms, and as they have not sufficient arms and ammunition for their negroes, this Province will infallibly be lost, unless
prompt aid is immediately sent. Petitioners have ordered all
their effects in the country to be appropriated to the use of the
public. They most humbly pray your Majesty to order as many
men, arms and munitions to be despatched at once to the succour
of this afflicted Province as to your Majesty's great wisdom shall
seem fit. French. 1¼ pp. [C.O. 5, 382. No.15.] |
