In his petition he said that his mother 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.The petition was recommended and forwarded [to the Land Board?] on October 18, 1839.
Death:
In the land petition of her son, John Trumpour Hendricks, made September 2, 1839, there was a statement that the said Betsey Hendricks died shortly after presenting her own land petition in 1817 or 1818. Her original petition was lost. Also with John T. Hendricks' petition is an affidavit made on September 9, 1839 by his father, James Hendricks (husband of Betsey Hendricks), who stated that "Betsey had been deceased now nearly twenty years".
Land petition:
Her original petition made on January 13, 1818 in Hamilton Township, Northumberland County, was apparently lost and was not found until June 20, 1825.

Petition for land:
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".
