			Don Jose Simion Sanchez a 
native and inhabitant of this province to your Excellency 
respectfully showeth, that he wishes to employ himself and slaves in 
Agriculture forming a plantation, and as for this object he needs a grant 
of Land of good quality to which he considers himself intitled in 
virtue of the merits and services he has performed in the year 1812 
against the disloyal inhabitants of the Province, and in 1817 Against 
those who took possession of Amelia Island, the particulars of which 
he does not state they being well known to the Government __ Therefore 
he prays that your Excellency will be pleased to grant him Two 
thousand Acres of Land, on Santafe River, bounded on the West 
by Lands of Don Francisco Roman Sanchez and on the other side 
by said River, which number of Acres are to him absolutely necessary 
not only for the establishment of a good plantation, but for raising 
of stock, to which he intends dedicating himself, which gifts he 
hopes to merit from the goodness of your Excellency,  St. Augustine 
January 7th 1818            Jose Simeon Sanchez
