Crozart, "Bibliographical and Genealogical Notes Concerning the Family of Philippe de Mandeville, Ecuyer Sieur de Marigny, 1709-1800," _Louisiana Historical Society Publications_, vol. v (New Orleans, 1911). The portrait referred to below now hangs in the H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College, New Orleans. [58] Gordon Bakewell (Bibl. No. 90), _ibid._, p. 31.

In Number 756, entitled "An Act for the Relief of Bernard Marigny, of the State of Louisiana," Marigny is mentioned as assignee of Antonio Bonnabel, and his claim, which was confirmed, is described as follows: a tract of land of 4,020 superficial arpents, in the State of Louisiana, parish of St. Tammany, "bounded on the southwest by Lake Ponchartrain, and on the northwest by lands formerly owned by the heirs of Lewis Davis." I am informed by Mr. Gaspar Cusachs, president of the Historical Society of Louisiana, who has carefully investigated the titles of this property and to whom I am indebted for much information concerning it and its owners, that the tract described above included the estate of "Fontainebleau." Marigny's claim included also a smaller tract of 774 arpents in the same parish. This land was bounded on the southwest by Lake Ponchartrain, on the north by Castin Bayou, and on the south by the tract acquired from Bonnabel; it was granted to the heirs of Lewis Davis in 1777, and certain of them filed a claim for it in 1812. [60] One period of this service bears date of May 31. [61] See Note, Vol. I, p. 27. [62] The mayor, Saget, at the moment he was crossing the Place Egalité (the Place Royale of today) received point-blank a ball in his right thigh and another in his left leg, and lost both limbs. [63] For the revolutionary history of Nantes I am chiefly indebted to M. A. Guépin's excellent _Histoire de Nantes_, 2d ed. (Nantes, 1839); Hipp. Etiennez, _Guide du Voyageur à Nantes, et aux Environs_ (Nantes, 1861); A. Lescadien et Aug. Laurent, _Histoire de la Ville de Nantes_, t.2 (Nantes, 1836); F. J. Verger, _Archives curieuses de la Ville de Nantes et des Départments de l'Ouest_, t. 5 (Nantes, 1837-41); and to a scholarly monograph by Dugast-Matifeux, entitled _Carrier à Nantes: Précis de la Conduite patriotique et révolutionnaire des citoyens de Nantes_ (Nantes, 1885).
