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

 relating to the seignorial tenure," there is a copy of the grant 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.
