10/28/1820 Caution All persons are hereby notified, that one Thomas Peterkin, by his notice in the "Arkansas Gazette" of the 26th of September last, offers for sale some "valuable lands" that are not, never were, and never will be his; and particularly the tract of 400 acres joining the Mississippi, on which he states that I, Sylvanus Phillips, now reside. This Thomas Peterkin has been, for some time, at this place, endeavoring to sell his pretended land claims; but his titles are too well known here for him to effect a sale at any price. He will now, probably endeavor to sell to persons at a distance, who know nothing of his title, for which reason this caution is published.The tract of land on which I live, and which I own, has been unconditionally confirmed by an act of Congress of the 29th of April, 1816; and has since been surveyed accordingly, under the authority of the United States. Peterkin's claim being ascertained to be unfounded; has been rejected as such; so that both claims have been decided as above, by the only tribunal made competent by law to adjudicate thereon. Mr. Peterkin, in his advertisement, admits my claim to be confirmed, and that his has been rejected; so that, from his own showing, he is offering to sell lands that do not belong to him.
