In 1763, when Colonel Buchan applied for patents, he was informed by the Governor and Council that his Majesty's proclamation forbidding his subjects to settle on and to withdraw from the waters of the Mississippi prevented any patent from issuing, but as soon as his Majesty should withdraw the proclamation and suffer his people to settle there, then Colonel Buchanan should have the patents.
