- PETITIONS, OCTOBER COURT, 1778. - Letter addressed to Mr. James McChesney, Sorrey Cunty, North Carolina: Rockbridge County, July ye 27, 1788. Dear Cousin: This is the second time I wrote to you and have not heard of you or received a line from you. But I hope this will find you and your Mamey and your brothers and sisters well as we are at present. Joanna would be fond to see you all. I have heard that you were all in a notion of moving to Nolson or Frnch Broad, and I expect that either or Kentucky is better than where you live. I intend selling all the land I have and move, but I cannot sell that little place until you come and make me a deed, and if you come I will give you a horse for your Mamey, I allow the best for you. He will be a horse that will carry you or your Mamey home again freely. Perhaps your Mamey will come with you. I would be fond to see you this fall, because as I ____ off I would sell all together and I can have a deed made here by a lawyer. But it would be costly. No more at present, but give my respects to your mother, your brothers and sisters in general. Affectionate friend. (Signed) Samuel McChesney. Excuse haste.
