Don Edwardo Murphy, petitioner from the post at Natchitoches, states
that on a creek La Petit St. Jean and Reo Hondo I find advantageous to
collect my cattle, I humbly ask of you to give me possession of this
land.
Nacogdoches, October 17, 1791. In consequence of petitioner and that the
land solicited is in the province of Texas and vacant I do grant in due
best form and that it may so appear.
Signed:
Antonio Gil y Barbo
(Note: This tract of land was in the area of southwest from the Country
Club of Natchitoches on Highway 1 North).
