I have a petition dated about August 30 1825 from Hamilton. What is unusual about it is that many women signed it (or had someone signed their names for them) Some of the names are
Rachel Christler, Margaret Ketchum, Anna Goodhue, Matilda HOwell, Elizabeth Simons, Sarah Shannon, Jane Shannon, Samantha Mann, Easter Jones, Sarah Duper (Deesser?0 Margaret Waugh, Grace Bawtinhimer, Sarah Cornell, Mary Cope, Mary Howell, Jane Bawtinhimer, Margaret Coper, Esther VAnsickel, Catherin VAnsickel, and many others. Many men signed it too including VAn Every and Titus G. Simons.
Any idea what the names have in common?
