[SCDAH Petition 1791 No. 52, transcribed by Kim Wilson, 30 May 2004.
Pendleton District SC, 5 January 1791.  This refers to the "Wilson's Ferry"
shown on 19th-centuy maps, located at the Saluda River crossing at Golden
Grove and later Pelzer.  John Wilson (1773-1828) was a member of the U. S.
Congress.]

To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives, in General
Assembly men and sitting at the Town of Columbia.

The Remonstrance and Petition of the Subscribers, inhabitants of Pendleton
and Greenville Counties, in the State of South Carolina, Humbly Sheweth,
That your Petitioneres labour under considerable disadvantage for want of a
Ferry being established to cross Saluda River at the Plantation of Mr. John
Wilson.  We therefore humbly pray your honorable house to establish a Ferry
by Law, and vest the same in the said John Wilson, who has provided a good
Boat for that purpose.  And your Petitioners as in duty bound will ever
pray.  5th January 1791.
