Petition from Inhabitants of Dobbs County concerning Taxes
Taylor, Joseph; Et Al.
February 20, 1775 
Volume 09, Page 1127

[B.P.R.O. Am. & W. Ind.: No. Carolina. No. 222.]

The Address of Sundry Inhabitants of the County of Dobbs to Governor Martin. 
We your humble petitioners humbly prayeth that you would let us know what our 
King's Laws is that we may know whether we pay our Taxes to uphold his Crown 
or to beat it down, for we are certain if the blind lead the blind they will 
both fall into the ditch, therefore We humbly pray that you would open our 
eyes aright that we may not be deceived by every voice of cunning crafty Men 
in different ways concerning the burthen that our Rightful Sovereign King has 
pleased to put on us, which is said to be more than we can bear, which we hope 
is nothing but kind for we are willing subjects to his Majesty and we hope 
shall ever be.

[Signed by Joseph Taylor, Junr, and 18 others.]

February 20th 1775.
