Sworn statement, which I, Michel Rambin, give of my nativity and the rest I shall state, in the following form:

Michel Rambin, a native of the Post of Natchitoches, of that of Louisiana, from whence I left eight years ago with my wife, Marie Threse Ignacia Mayu, with three sons, the first of the age of fourteen years, the second dead, and the third of ten years, and the others that have been born in this place, the first of seven years, the second of five years, and the third of three years,  and the last of five months; and these, as well as my wife and I are of the Apostolic Roman Catholic religion; and we have always followed the Spanish flag, and we have not subjected ourselves to anyone  but the Judges of Nacogdoches,  to what they have ordered; and having my home, I follow the occupation of farmer, with which I supported my family; and not having any other document with me, I extend the present, on which I make a sign of a cross in presence of Don Pierre Dolet, and Louis Procela in Bayou Pierre on the 24th of July, 1809.

Grassroots of America-American State Papers, Public Lands
Vol 3, P 78 May 14, 1815  Land Office, Western Dist., State of Louisiana
# 66-Claimant: Andre Rambin , 259.52 Acres , Original Claimant: Ignace Mailloux, Board Approved
#67-Claimant-Andre Rambin, Original Claimant: Cayacaille, an Indian & His wife, Quantity: Not ascertained: Nature and Date: Purchase from Indians-Not approved
#68-Claimant-Andre Rambin, Original claimant: The Chevalier Poiret, Lot in Natchitoches, Nature & date of Claim-not mentioned -Not approved

P 89
Claim # 66-Andre Rambin, two hundred and fifty-nine and fifty one hundreths acres, claimed under a title to Ignace Mailloux.  The notice of this claim is for part of a tract of land, of which the title has been confirmed by certificate B, No 2,043.  This confirmation was made through mistake, or a want of correct information in favor of the heirs of Francois Rouquier for the whole of the original tract.  It is very evident that Andre Rambin is entitled to the part which he claims; and, as this right is admitted by the heirs of Rouquier, there is no likelihood of his right being impaired by the confirmation of the title as above.  This claim, therefore, needs no further confirmation.

Claim # 67-Andre Rambin claims a tract of land under a purchase from an Indian called Cayacaille', and his wife, in the year 1790.  the quantity of land is not mentioned, and the notice is unaccompanied by any evidence of title.  The claim, therefore, in the opinion of the Commissioners, ought not to be confirmed.

Claim # 68-Andre Rambin claims a lot in the town of Natchitoches, under a deed of conveyance from the Chevalier Poiret, dated in the year 1678.  The notice of this claim is also unaccompanied by any evidence of title, and, in the opinion of the commissioners, ought not to be confirmed. There can be no doubt that the date of 1678 is a mistake.  It is probable it should have been 1778.
