»In an official report made to the Canadian Parliament in 1851, entitled " Titles and locuments 

 relating to the seignorial tenure," there is a copy of thegrant made to Abbe Picquet giving permission 

 to build a sawmill. This concession, signed by Francois Bigot, the intendant at Quebec, states "that 

 for the usefulness of the said mill it is necessary that there should be attached thereto a tract of 

 land on which to receive the saw logs as well as the boards and other lumber," and grants for this 

 purpose "land of one arpent and a half in front by the same depth." This land now forms part of 

 the city of Ogdensburg. 



*> The colonial patent of 1684, embracing lands in this county and the present site of the city of 

 Schenectady, refers to sawmills which had already been built within the territory granted; but 

 nothing appears now in the town and county records to show when or by whom they were erected.
