    • John petitioned for land as the son of Betsey Hendricks, who was Elizabeth Trumpour, daughter of Loyalist John Trumpour. Betsey had petitioned for land in about 1817, but had not received any reply. She had "departed this life a short time thereafter", before they realized that the petition had been lost. John asked that a grant of 200 acres of land be made in the name of the late Betsey Hendricks. He was her "heir at law".
      He likely went to Toronto to present the petition, but if says that he is "of Murray", that is Murray township, Newcastle District.
      John includes a document from his maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Trumpour, who was the mother of Betsey Hendricks and the widow of John Trumpour. Archibald McFaul, commissioner, in Wellington, witnessed the document of Elizabeth Trumpour on September 9, 1839.
      Also included was a document from John's father, James Hendricks, who described the original petition process, and that the petition was lost or mislaid. James described his son, John T. Hendricks, as Betsey's eldest surviving descendant. James' sworn statement was witnessed by J. N. Hurst, J. P. of the Home District, in Toronto, on September 3, 1839.
      The petition was recommended and forwarded [to the Land Board?] on October 18, 1839.
