Petitions of the Inhabitants of Westmoreland and Ohio
Counties (PA)
"The people of the border counties assembled and
petitioned Governor John PENN, setting forth "that there was
great reason to apprehend that the country would again be
immediately involved in all the horrors of an Indian war;
that their circumstances, at that critical time, were truly
alarming; deserted by the greater part of our neighbors and
fellow-subjects, unprotected with places of strength to
resort to with ammunition, provisions, and with almost every
other necessary store.
Our houses abandoned to pillage; labor and industry
entirely at a stand; our crops destroyed by cattle; our
flocks dispersed; the minds of our people distracted with the
terrors of falling, along with the helpless and unprotected
families, the immediate victims of savage barbarity.
In the midst of these scenes of desolation and ruin,
next to the Almighty, we look to your Honor, hoping, from
your known benevolence and humanity, such protection and
relief as your Honor shall see meet."
A number of petitions of this kind were signed and sent
to Governor Penn, one dated 1774, Fort Shippen, at Captain
John PROCTOR's.

I received an Index to Deeds etc. for Allegany Co. MD for Hoffman's. There
is one from GEORGE HOFFMAN to Valentine Hoffman. It says from"George Hoffman
et ux"
can someone tell me what that means?
A couple of the deeds say, "to James Bryan (by constable) from John Hoffman
of George." I thought someone might be interested in that.
Harriet
"et ux" means "and wife" while "et al" means "and others"
So it means " from George Hoffman and wife"
Ezekiel Orrick Bryan, my gg grandfather, was christened 7 Sep 1800
Prince George Parish, Montgomery, Maryland. His father was James and
mother was Ann.
I am looking for more information on him. I will be happy to share
information.
