Abstract:

Part IV and V in this series, presents three documents - \"The Petition of Reuben Searcy and Others\" (1759), George Sim's \"Address to the People of Granville,\" and Hermon Husband's \"Remarks on Religion.\" Both historic documents record incidents of property taxation in the Granville District. The first document is a complaint lodged against Robert Jones Jr., Attorney General of the state, for over taxation and the latter a public speech addressed to Granville County Residents to join together and overthrow local government. The third document is a reprint of Husband's 1761 pamphlet concerning his personal opinions about the connection between religion and politics.
