− | The '''Quartier Du Grand Marquis''' or '''St. Andrew's''', situated towards the East, is the most considerable District, as well for Extent, as for the Number and importance of its Plantations: it is four and half leagues long (15.3 Miles), extending from '''Riviere de Crochu''' to the '''Riviere Antione,''' which separates it on the North side from the District '''Des Sauteurs.''' Lands were granted here, 7,000 paces ( 3.31 Miles) up from the Coast, which are in general good. There were however some, from the Town of '''Grand Marquis''' to the Riviere du Crochu which were indifferent, as they have been over-wrought and these on the heights as you go towards the great pond are cold and for the most part, bad. Several rivers run through this quarter, which supply 23 Plantations with water, twelve which were considerable , on the account of their produce and income.
