I saw your list 1819 squatters on Indian land on the internet in Marion
Co, TN.  Perhaps you are not aware that some of these signers were from
Jackson Co, AL.  Would it be possible for you to change your heading to
include Jackson Co, AL?

I have been working on the early families in Crow Creek Valley in
Jackson Co, AL which is located on Hwy 117 N from Stevenson.  There are
a number of people who signed the Petition who lived on Crow Creek and
are on the 1830 census there.

On day when I have time and if no one else has done this, I am going to
try to determine which 1830 census all the signers of this Petition were
on  --  Marion Co and Hamilton Co, TN and Jackson Co, AL.  I know some
will have moved on by 1830.  Actually one signer, Meredith Catchings,
lived in Franklin Co, TN.  It was that part of Franklin Co, TN that was
Indian land until 1819 -- the same time that Jackson Co, AL was formed.

It would also be nice to put this petition on the Jackson Co, AL site.

I appreciate your help in this matter and if you have questions, please
do not hesitate to ask.

Memorial of the inhabitants residents in the Cherokee Country relative to 
the late order for their removal :  To the Honorable the Secretary at War, 
Your petitioners viewing the calamitous situation in which many of our 
citizens are placed, owing to an order recently described by the agent for 
Indian affairs of the Cherokee Nation ordering all intruders on their lands 
to remove by the first day of July 1819. Your petitioners believing that 
the same indulgence would be extended to them as has been the constant 
practice to others in similar circumstances, induced them to settle on the 
lands lately ceded to the United States by the Cherokees on the north side 
of Tennessee River nor did the order ever appear until late in the month of 
May of this year, leaving a removal of the citizens impracticable if not 
impossible. Your petitioners are poor but industrious farmers and to deprive
them of their hard earnings in the wilderness and thus destroy their labour,
where will your petitioners apply for bread for theirs
