Notes - La Société Historique Acadienne Cahier Vol 23 No 1 1992 Janvier-Mars contains Stephen A. White's article "Les fondateurs de la paroisse d'Arichat, Cap-Breton" briefly describing each of the 70 heads of families who signed a March 8 1786 letter to J.F.W. DesBarres, Lieutenant Governor of Cape Breton. This letter thanked J.F.W. DesBarres for the promise of land concessions, the permission to construct a church and school, and the request for tax exemptions. Following is an English translation of Stephen A. White's description by Lena Samson.
