“ 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.

. . . .

Pierre Brau, ploughman, native of la Cadie, aged 26 years. Married to Margueritte Guedry, native of la Cadie, aged 24 years.
They have one daughter, 21 days old, not yet named, and Marie Joseph Brau, his sister, native of la Cadie, aged 18 years living with them.
The own one pig and four fowls.

. . .

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. “5291
