theres dozens of sources. Start w/ library of congress: https://www.loc.gov/item/mtjbib000054/ (1772) petition by the people of Virginia

here's a later one, from the continental congress for grievances and 'intolerable acts'. : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petition_to_the_King

I believe there were 13 or 14 PETITIONED appeals. (real documents sent to king george), before the revolution.
