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.

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.
John Trumpour Hendricks petitioned for land in Upper Canada on September 2, 1839 in Toronto, York County, Upper Canada, Canada.
