In 1740, Valentine Peyton and three other justices were censured bythe House of Burgess for refusing to receive two petitions by severalcitizens. Peyton, a Burgess, was required to apologize to the House.The right of the people to "petition the government for a redress ofgrievances" is guaranteed for us by the First Amendment which in thisparticular drives from the liberty infringed by the Prince Williamjustices. "As early as May 1740, the Scots had begun to agitate for a town[at Quantico]. They met determined opposition from Valentine Peyton,who insisted that if any town was to be established in Prince William,it must be at he Court House on the lower side of Occoquan where he,himself, had interests. Although the confident Scots adroitly amendedtheir petition, in the light of this opposition, to provide for townon both Quantico and Occoquan, Peyton was irreconcilable, and was ableto persuade the county court to refuse to certify the proposal to theAssembly. This was a breach of privilege, and resulted in disciplineby the Assembly of the Prince William justices who had been guilty ofit; but in the end Peyton succeeded in having the petition rejected,not only in 1740 but again in 1742 and 1744. The Scots would not,however, be denied. They now joined hands with those who proposed toestablish a similar town on Hunting Creek and at last, in May 1749,secured the pasage of 'An act for erecting a Town in the County ofPrince William.' ...to be called Dumfries." [Landmarks of Old PrinceWilliam] In 1741 William Fairfax and Thomas Harrison were elected to theHouse of Burgesses from Prince William while Valentine Peyton ran 6thout of 7. Thomas Harrison was backed largely by men from theSourthern part of the county who split their other votes betweenFairfax and Peyton. 5 6 Event: Land Purchase 20 AUG 1725 Broad Run of Occoquan R., StaffordCo, VA Note: Since 1730, this tract has been in Pr.
