"The name 'Orange Quarter' as applied to the settlement the writer first finds in the heading of one of the sublists of the St Julien list: viz; 'Liste des noms des Fransioise qui se recuille "en l'Eglize du Cartie d'Orange.' In the Church Act of 1706 a parish is provided for 'in the Orange Quarter for the use of the 'French Settlement there which shall be called by the name of ?the parish of St: Dennis.'
"In the additional Act of 1708 it is again referred to in the same language, and in the Act of 1712 provision is made for the support of a 'Minister of the parish of St: Dennis for the French settlement in Orange Quarter.' By the tax Act of 1715 assessors or 'enquirers' are appointed 'for the parish of St: Dennis or "Orange Quarter, Mr.
Peter Videau, Mr. Josiah Dupree and Mr. Peter Poitvin.'
"How it acquired the name 'Orange' Quarter the writer has never been able definitely to ascertain.
In this same publication, at page 33j a grant of 200 acres to Anthony Poitevin in 1707 and 150 acres granted to Peter Poitevin in 1713 are mentioned. "The 500 acres granted to Daniel Brabant in 1706 had been originally laid out to James de Bordeaux under warrants issued in 1677 and 1698. Daniel Brabant styled surgeon and sometimes Doctor married Magdalaine one of the daughters of James de Bordeaux and after de Bordeaux' death his other children viz Anthony de Bordeaux, Judith de Bordeaux and Margery Poitevin conveyed in 1708/9 their interests in the land to Daniel Brabant and his wife and thereafter Brabant took out a new grant to himself."
On page 242 is the following:
"December 20, l699> Anthony Poitevin, Lewis Pasquereau and James DuBose executed a bond to Governor Blake for Poitevin's faithful performance of his trust as administrator of James DeBordeaux. Witness:	Henry Wigington. (Page 330) [abstracts
from the Records of the court of the Ordinary]"
(James de Bordeaux was father-in-law to Anthony Poitevent the Younger.)
