To His Excellency Governor Carleton Captain General and Commander in Chief, etc., etc.
The Petition of John Hanson and Ephraim Young
To his Excellency Thomas Carleton Esquire Captain General Governor and Commander in chief in and over his Majesty's Province of New Brunswick and its dependencies, Vice Admiral of the same,
            The Petition of John Hanson and Ephraim Young Inhabitants of Chamcook Island near St. Andrews in Passamaquoddy
            Most Respectfully Sheweth
            That your Excellency's petitioners were comfortably situated at Gouldsborough when for their Loyalty and attachment to the Crown of Great Britain they were obliged to leave the same together with a Considerable property to avoid taking up arms against his Majesty and to seek for a Habitation among the Subject of Nova Scotia.
That on this arrival in Passamaquoddy they began a Settlement on Chamcook Island then unclaimed by any person and after Six years Constant Labour (two years of which time they underwent the greatest distress having large families and no provision, being obliged to subsist on shellfish and whatever they could procure with their Guns) have cleared and brought to perfection a great part of said Island so as to Render themselves a Necessary Subsistence,
            They therefore most humbly Implore your Excellency to take the same in Consideration and give them a Grant to hold the Land they have thro Infinite Labour and Distress Improved upon to Subsist their families and your petitioners will be ever bound to fervently pray for ——-
            John Hanson
            Ephraim Young

[Receipt of Petition follows]

About 15 acres supposed by Mr. Pagan—and double that quantity said by Mr. Limeburner to have been cleared

John Hanson and Ephraim Young as to Chamcook Island, Passamaquoddy—where they have been settled six years—

Read in Council 8th of March
Referred till the arrival of Mr. Jones Deputy (?) Surveyor

In Council 29 March—
A prior Application has been made for the Island; but they will be considered for their Improvements.

Received 3 March 1785

[20 July 1785—Petition of Ephraim Young]
To his Excellency Thomas Carleton, Esq., Captain General and Governor in Chief of his Majesty's Province of New Brunswick and Territories depending thereon in America,
            The memorial of Ephraim Young most humbly sheweth
            That he together with John Hanson Inclosed a memorial to your Excellency on the third day of March last praying for a grant of land which they had been in possession of for six years with their families on Chamcook Island and had with great labour and severe hardships cleared and cultivated, to which memorial your present memorialist begs leave to refer
            That the answer indossed upon said memorial is that a prior application has been made for the Island but that your memorialists will be considered for their improvements,
            Your memorialist with all humility conceives that his settlement upon the Island for so many years the labour and expense he has been put to and the cultivation of the land he has cleared upon the Land create as equitable a claim to a grant of this land as if he had had a formal application subsisting for such grant during the whole period of his possession.
            That your memorialist feels it peculiarly hard and distressing to be compelled to remove with a wife and four children from this spot upon retaining which depend all his hopes for subsisting his family and again encounter the difficulties of subduing an uncleared tract of country.
            That the said John Hanson has sold his improvements upon the said Island to Capt. Osborne who he understands has applied for a grant of the same Island, but your memorialist entreats he may not be dispossessed of this dear-earned fruit of his labours and reduced with his family to the distress that such a measure will subject him to.
f           Confident in the known justice and humanity of your Excellency he therefore humbly requests that your Excellency will be pleased to grant him such proportion of land upon the Island as his labour and improvements shall be thought to entitle him unto,
            And as in duty bound
            Shall ever pray,
            Ephraim Young
