DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY:
The original concession was bounded on the west by Magdelaine Hotellier. In 1753 Dubordieu fils was on the western border with Hotellier's land to his west. It is likely therefore that Dubordieu ceded a portion of his land to his son. By 1753 Dubordieu.'s land was said to be much larger than original concession, even with loss of land given his son.
