Description

This is an appeal from the decree of the district court of Missouri, on the petition of the plaintiffs, praying for the confirmation of their claim to a tract of land, pursuant to the act of 1824, for the settlement of claims to land in that state. The petition was in due form, setting forth such a case as gave jurisdiction to the court below, who decided the claim to be invalid; the appeal is regularly taken according to the terms of the law. It is in full proof that, on the 20th April, 1796, the lieutenant-governor of upper Louisiana, in consideration of the services rendered to the Spanish government by Antoine Soulard, the ancestor of the petitioners, made a concession or order of survey to him and his heirs forever, of a tract of land of ten thousand arpents, French measure, to be surveyed and located on any vacant land in the royal domain. Pursuant to this order, a survey was made in February 1804, and recorded in the office of the surveyor-general of the district, in March following.
