Petition of Michael Eisan
Item · 1785
Item consists of printed microfilm copies of a petition written by Michael Eisan to the Hon. Thomas [Dundas], received December 29, 1785. The document includes a signed oath stating that Eisan resided at Halifax/ Dartmouth from July 15, 1783 to March 25th, 1784, however, that he was incapable of delivering any request for relief, outlining the claims and losses that he had incurred in South Carolina during the American Revolution, within the allotted amount of time for claims submissions. His reason for not submitting his claim to the Commissioners on time was that he was unable to procure any evidence to substantiate his claims or prove his losses and he believed that there was no point in submitting a relief request without any such evidence. The document also includes government responses to his petition, regarding the events that took place during the dissentions in America and the actions of the Loyalists. Accession number: 2013.015
