No. 205 - Jacques LeBlanc claims a tract of land, situate on the east side of the river Mississippi, in the county of Acadia, containing three arpents in front, and forty in depth, and bounded on the upper side by land of Pierre Lanoue, and on the lower by land of Madame Augustine.
It appears that the claimant did actually inhabit and cultivate the land now claimed on the 20th December, 1803 and that the same was continually inhabited and cultivated for more than ten consecutive years next preceding. Confirmed.
