Note 1
Burton Historical Records: p 684: Antoine Dequindre Jr. (known later in life as Major Dequindre) was the eldest son of Antoine Dagneau Dequindre and Catherine Desrivières de la Morandière, for who see BHR I 205-206. On 8-10-1789 by decree of the Court of Common Pleas of the District of Hesse, Catherine secured legal separation of her property from her husband's control, and on 28-3-1795, she procured from Susanne Baby, widow of Jacques Baby dit Duperon, a tract of land at the Northeast Coast of Detroit which on 2-7-1807 was awarded to her by the Land Board as P.C. 8, being the western portion of the present Dequindre farm. In Nov 1813 Antoine Dequindre (son) secured control of P.C. 17, originally awarded to François Gouin, and in May 1816 Catherine Dequindre deeded to him her farm P.C.8 purchased from Susanne Baby. The two properties united, constituted what has since been known as the Dequindre farm from which Dequindre Street takes its name.

Detroit Free Press, Aug 24, 2000, Article by Sheryl James: The Dequindre farm, which was only 630 feet wide was located just east of the Renaissance Centre, the land now includes part of St Aubin Park, many overgrown vacant lots and dilapidated warehouses. Orleans Street bisects the property. I-75 covers much of the inland property, which once extended past Adelaide Street. Throughout history the land has known the city water tower, a shipyard sawmill and the Detroit Dry Dock. Today it is part of the area planned for Detroit's casinos.
