METIS HISTORY 1700-1707
METIS HISTORY Return to METIS 1700-1749 index
The French establish a Policy of non-exploration into the Indian Territories
for the next 10 years.
The Metis and Coureurs des Bois, however, continue to conduct expeditions into
the North and South West.
They are in the process of Nation building.
The following are, basically, Fort Detroit inhabitants
who paid rent between 1707-1710, and includes those who paid no rent but are in the
vicinity in 1701 or earlier, to 1710.
It would appear that rent was a form of taxation to cover the cost of
government (protection) and the services of the Church. Those who didn't
pay rent, such as visiting traders, were forced to pay a Church tax anyway. The renters, however,
were required to obtain permission (permit)
to leave the colony, whereas the non residents were freemen. Some renters
were, in fact, farming a fair distance from Fort Detroit, New France
(Michigan), but both farmers and town
dwellers disappeared during the hunting or fur trading seasons. Fort Detroit,
New France (Michigan) was virtually empty except for the army. It would appear
that those who paid no
rent are soldiers, indentured people, merchants, Coureurs des Bois, free traders,
voyagers or those living among the Indians.
It is noteworthy that the Native tribes were encouraged to settle around the
Fort, and the Wendat, Oppenagos, Ottawas, Miamis, and Iroquois established
settlements, immediately planting gardens. Farming means living away from
the Fort on a farm size property and may or may not include agriculture.
Lots within the palisades were generally 20 x 25 feet. An arpent of land is 192 feet on a side. A livre, a French coin was worth 20 cents.

Xaintonge alias (II)-Pierre Gareau, St. Onage, and Saintonge (1673-1740),
brother of Dominique and Jean, wife
in St. Paul Street, Montreal, Quebec, country wife??, town rent, March 10, 1708, for 50 sols rent
and 10 livres for other rights. He sold a lot to Bouche?
Pierre Zerbain dit St. Pierre, soldier, no rent
The unmarried soldiers were encouraged
to marry Indian woman. It was not uncommon thing for a citizen of the fort
to have left behind him a lawful wife and to have selected another in Detroit
from some savage tribe.
The farm lands, so far as we now know, were nearly all granted up
stream, from the fort. One grant, and the only one of which we had
positive knowledge, up to the discovery of the transfers have recently
unearthed, was to de Lorme. This farm is still called the de Lorme farm, from
its original proprietor, and is situated in the township of Grosse Pointe,
a short distance east of the present water works. Having the exact location of
this farm, and the boundary lines of the others, it would not be as difficult a
task to plan out the French concessions as it has been to map the ancient city.

in the city. The list of grantees is as follows:
