Carter County — Sct
To his Excellency B. McGoffin
Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
The under Signed Petitioners would respectfully represent to your Excellency that Jonithan Rogers was fined by the Carter Circuit Court ^in with a woman and not being married Now Mr Rogers is a good Industrious citizen and a Poor Man; and we do not think that Said Rogers Ought to be fined as Judgement went against him by default and he could not get a rehearing and we think if he had a fair trial he would not have been proved Gilty and we think under the circumstances and considering the hardness of the times think that he ought to be released and we as his neighbours petition your Excellency to remit Said fine and by so doing you will confer a great favor to an honest citizen of Said County and for such releif we Shall ever Pray
