“ TOUR OF INSPECTION MADE BY THE SIEUR DE LA ROQUE. CENSUS. 1752.

CENSUS OF THE SETTLERS AT THE POINTE A LA JEUNESSE.

. . . .

The Pointe à la Jeunesse is situate on the narrows of the great lake of Bras d’Or. The lands lie exceedingly high and are covered with all kinds of mixed wood.

The settlers are unanimous in reporting the ground as unsuitable for cultivation. It is freely traversed with rocks, which prevent its being worked.

. . . .

Charles Guedry, ploughman, native of la Cadie, aged 26 years. Married to Madeleine Ebert, native of la Cadie aged 25 years.
They have two daughters: --
Marie Madeleine, aged 6 years;
The last is not named; she is 8 days old.
In livestock they have one ox and one pig.
There are with them four of his brothers, who are: --
Joseph Guedry, aged 20 years;
Jean Femilien, aged 17 years.
Augustin, aged 12 years.
Aniez, aged 10 years;

. . . .

When all the settlers landed on their arrival from la Cadie in August last, they owned between them the number of 188 oxen or cows, 42 calves, 173 sheep or ewes, 181 pigs and 17 horses. A comparison with the recapitulation will easily show how many of these have perished from want of hay on which to feed. The settlers had not even water to give them within reach, and now all ask to leave so fully do they realize that they cannot live here. “5158
