    To His Excellency
    Major General Sir Archibald Campbell Baronet G. C. B. Lieutenant Governor – and Commander in Chief of the Province of New Brunswick.
    The Petition of John Larlee a Settler on the Indian Reserve in Parish of Kent, County of York.
    Humbly Sheweth
    That your Petitioner in the year 1814 laid a Memorial before the Lieutenant Governor and Council of this Province praying a grant of land where he now resides on the Indian Reserve and in consequence of encouragement received from the then Surveyor General of a favorable hearing proceeded immediately to make a settlement thereon but subsequently was informed from the Secretary’s office that the land was allotted as an Indian Reserve and could not be granted.
    That your petitioner then applied to the Indians residing at the Tobique to purchase it from them and paid them Twenty five pounds Currency and received from them a Deed for three hundred acres which Instrument is now in possession of your petitioner and under the impression

    that his title was good your petitioner has made a large improvement having cleared and put under fence upwards of fifty acres built a comfortable log house and a frame barn thereon.
    That your petitioner with the other settlers on the Indian Reserve were in the year 1827 compelled by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to acknowledge themselves bound to pay an annual rent in Money. Your petitioner’s was to be fifteen pounds per annum which rent has never been legally called for until now and your petitioner regrets find that the High Sheriff is now authorized to levy by Warrant of Execution on his effects for the rent now due which your petitioner is totally unable to pay from the great scarcity of money in the country – petitioner being a married man with a family of twelve children finds it very difficult to support and keep together so large a family even with his greatest exertions. He therefore humbly begs that your Excellency will take his case into consideration and remit the rent due and allow him to possess the land he now occupies as should your petitioner’s effects be restrained for the rent, his family will be left at an inclement season of the year in a state of destitution – But should it not be in your Excellency’s power to remit

    the rent altogether, that your Excellency will be pleased to order it to be paid into the hands of an Agent in farm produce for the use of the Indians which if the rent was lessened he could pay in that way without distressing his family.
    Your Petitioner is informed by the Sheriff of York that it has been reported to Your Excellency that the settlers on this Reserve have declared it their intention to keep possession by force in defiance of the Law And Your Petitioner begs leave most solemnly to declare that he never has directly or indirectly made such a declaration or had such and intention. Your Excellency’s petitioner was born and reared a British subject and is ever ready to yield obedience to the law of his Country – humbly hoping that Your Excellency will favorably receive and grant the prayer of this petition. Your Excellency Petitioner as in duty bound will ever pray.

  • Notes 
    • On April 6, 1801, John Larlee was married by Rev. Dibblee to Sarah Hudenot. Two chldren were born to the couple before his wife's early death, namely Samuel Hudenot, baptised July 31, 1803 and Sally, baptised Frebruary 18, 1805. Their mother was buried March 12, 1805.

      On Septembr 30, 1806, John Larlee petititoned for lot 21 in Wakefield Parish on the west side of the Saint John River that had been formerly allotted to Jesse Baker. He was granted a 250 acre lot on which he laboured for the next eight years, but found it unsuitable for cultivation.
      On August 24, 1808, John was married by license to Nancy Craig, by whom he had at least four more children by the time he moved to the reserved lands in the spring of 1814. John and Samuel immediately erected each a house and began to cultivate the land when they were informed that the Indans had a claim on the lands. In July, the brothers petitioned the government for relief, stating that they had been "at considerable expense and loss of time in fixing themselves on this situation and it would be attended with great inconvenience to them and their families to be removed, having nothing but their labor to depend on for the support of themselves and families."
