Biographical notes:
Barthélémy Lafon was a Deputy Surveyor appointed by Isaac Briggs, Esq.
Gilbert Antoine de St. Maxent was sent by Governor Bernardo de Galvez to settle Islenos (immigrants to Louisiana from the Canary Islands) at Galveztown, which was located at the junction of the Amite River and Bayou Manchac. It was destroyed by floods in the early 1800s. The present day community of Galvez, La., is located just west of the original Galveztown.
From the description of Barthélémy Lafon land survey, 1804 Oct. 2. (Louisiana State University). WorldCat record id: 261339821
