1805 Nov 7 John Hughbanks signs a petition regarding Spanish territory land that is now in Mississippi Territory  1805 Nov 7, Petition:
“To the honourable house of representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, — the humble petition of the undersigned, inhabitants of the county of Washington in the Mississippi Territory.”
. . . “Your petitioners, moreover, take leave to inform your honourable body that there is a tract of about 80 acres, belonging to the United States, on which the old Spanish Fort, called Fort St. Stephens, and an old priest’s house are standing, these buildings being now occupied by the United States trading house for the Chactaws, the troops of the United States, nominally at Fort St. Stephens, being on a different tract of land, — that this tract of 80 acres, is eligibly sitated for a town, and if divided into lots for that purpose, might be rendered subservient to the purposes of education, — that the inhabitants of the before mentioned settlements, have never had it in their power to afford encouragement to able teachers to settle among them, — that their children have scarcely any opportunities of being instructed at home, — that, if they were otherwise able, they are too remote from all other settled countries, to send them abroad for that purpose, — and that they heavy imposition which they suffer from the Spanish government, give them, as they humble conceive, a peculiar claim to such assistance as can properly be rendered by the government of the United States.”
The petition goes on to ask that one of the courts in the county or district of Washington appoint trustees of schools in each township settled. To hire teachers, buy and sell property for their respective schools, etc.
They advise that owners of land in the county of Washington have had “considerable expense” in translating Spanish warrants of land, and ask help from the United States in the expense of translating these documents (as the Spanish officers are charging burdensome rates they are unable to pay).
Assistance is also asked for people who have land certificates that conflict with British patents.
Signed by:  John Hughbanks is one of the signers of this petition.

1805, Nov 15: Petition to the House of Representatives by Inhabitants of Washington County
“To the honourable house of Representatives of the United States, the humble petition of the undersigned inhabitants of the county of Washington in the Mississippi Territory respectfully sheweth,
That many of the inhabitants of the said county, subsequent to the month of March 1803 and before the arrival of the commissioners appointed to settle the land claims in the said county, settled and improved the lands on which they live, under an expectation which afterwards proved to be unfounded, that they should be entitled to pre-emptions at least, — that their circumstances rendered them generally unable to remove to any other part of the United States, — that they are now in danger of having their tracts sold away from them, merely in consequence of the improvements they have made, though in many instances they would not sell for two dollars an acre, in their natural state. Your petitioners therefore humbly pray that whereever it can be made appear to the satisfaction of the superior court of Washingon district, that any inhabitant of the said county did settle and improve vacant land within the same previously to the arrival of the said commissioners, that such person may be entitled to a pre-emption of such section or part of a section or sections, as may include his improvements. And your petitioners as in duty bound shall ever pray &etc.
