Petition #11585202

Abstract

Thirty-five residents of Rusk County join Tennessee-born free man of color George Tucker in asking that Tucker be permitted to remain in Texas. They represent that Tucker "was bound to T. M. Templeton and was brought by said Templeton to this state" and that he "is now of age and has a wife at C B Bacons in said county." The petitioners state that "he has always demeaned himself honestly and in a manner suitable to his Station in life." They therefore pray that "your honorable body will pass a suitable law allowing him to remain a resident of the state of Texas."
