Elizabeth Deveaux states that in 1782 “when the City of Charleston was a British Garrison Some Americans unknown took a Boat & three Negroes, the Property of your Petitioner, coming from Wando Plantation to the City, with a few Necessaries for Family Use, & carried them to General Marion’s Camp at Watboo Bridge.” She further asserts that said property was sold “upon a Supposition of having violated Governor [John] Mathew's Proclamation." Deveaux declares that she “has been deprived of any satisfaction or compensation for the Same To the great Injury of her & a large Family in Distress.” She therefore “humbly prays such Relief as in your Humanity you will please to Grant.”
