April 9, 1844
Submitted and ordered to be printed
Mr. Pearce made the following
REPORT:
(To accompany bill S. 100.)
The Commitee on Private Land Claims, to whom was
referred the pe-
tition of Robert Barclay to the State of Missouri,
report:
That, on the 3d of March, 1802, the petitioner made application
to De-
lassus, the Spanish Lieutenant Governor of the then province
of Louisiana,
for a concession of eight hundred arpens of land on the
river au Baeuf;
and that on the 6th of March, he obtained from the said
Lieutenant Gov-
ernor an order of survey accordingly. In January 1804,
a survey was
made for him, and a plat and certificate were made out
for him in Feb-
ruary, 1804. The petitioner seems to have supposed that
his grant was
on the Lamine river, where he lived until the year 1814,
when he was
driven off by the Indians, as he alleges; and when he
ascertained that his
grant was on the river Baeuf, instead of the Lamine,
all the lands at the
mouth of that river, including his intended settlement
had been sold by
the Government of the United States, or otherwise disposed
of. This
concession of the Spanish commander and Lieutenant Governor
was con-
firmed by Frederick Bates, recorder of land titles for
Missouri, in his re-
port of February 2, 1816, and that report was confirmed
by the 2d section
of the act of Congress of 1816, ch. 159. In 1827, a bill
was reported in
the Senate for the relief of the petitioner, and passed
that body, but failed
in the House of Representatives for want of time.
The committe think the
petitioner entitled to compensation in other
lands subject to private entry, and report a bill accordingly.

Mr. Yulee made the following
REPORT:
(To accompany bill S. 120.)
The Commitee on Private Land Claims, to whom was
referred the pe-
tition of Robert Barclay to the State of Missouri,
report:
That concerning the report made on the 9th April, 1844,
by a former
commitee of the Senate upon this case, and referring
to that report for a
sufficient statement of the facts, a bill is accordingly
reported for the relief
of the petitioner.
