No. 174 - Michel and Simon Lanoue claim a tract of land, situate on the east side of the river Mississippi, in the county of Acadia, containing three arpents and twenty toises in front, forty arpents in depth, and bounded on one side by land of Pierre Lanoue.

  This is part of a tract of land of fifteen arpents and twenty toises in front, on the ordinary depth, surveyed by Don Carlos Trudeau, in the year 1782, for Pierre Lanoue, the father of the claimants, from whom they purchased; the land having been inhabited and cultivated ever since the above period, until on and after the 20th of December, 1803. Confirmed.

No. 384 - Simon Lanoue claims a tract of land situate on the east side of the river Mississippi, in the county of Acadia, containing four arpents in front and forty in depth, and bounded on the upper side by land of Gullaume Canouet and on the lower by land of Baptiste Bourgeois.

 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 by him, or those under whom he claims, for more than ten consecutive years next preceding. Confirmed.
