COLONIAL MOBILE, Peter Hamilton (Houghton & Mifflin, 1897): page 319 "on the Tensaw were many residents at first, although sme moved to the ombigbee. McCurtin land in 1787 obtained the Farmer place, but in 1790 described it as inhabitable and moved up to St. Stephens. This Farmer place of 12, 800 arpens became, under McCurtain's will, the property of his widow, and she in 1810, as Mme. Diego McVoy, sold it for $650 to Joshua Kennedy, including Rains' Creek and Farmer's Bluff." page 221 as regards to the population of Mobile under Spain remaining primarily French "We see the same thing all around the bay, although the first two tracts south of the city are Spanish. These are the Eslava Bay TRact, adjoining the Mandeville, and that of Cornelius McCurtain (afterwards Diego McVoy) still further south, taking up much of the long peninsula between main Dog River and the bay." page 392 " After the declaration of peace the people, in March 1815, held their second municipal election. Judson (who was the new town president), Hobart, Powell, and Robeshaw were reelcted commissioners, and the others were succeeded by William Chenault, Diego McVoy, and Michael Perault. Our first board turned over to them a net balance in the treasury of $60.85 1/2 to begin on." page 423 under Spanish City Grants: "6. On August 13, 1806, William McVoy obtained from Intendant-General Morales an order of survey of twenty arpens adjoining Fort Charlotee. He soon sold to Joshua Kennedy, and the tract was cultivated and inhabited by him and a Spaniard in his employ from 1807 to 1820.The use was not such as to conform to the conditions of the sale, and the grant hung fire in American times tioll confirmed by a special act of Congress May 5, 1832. This McVoy tract was shaped like a T, the cross being along our St. Emanuel and Conception, from the Collel line to Governmnet, the upright wedging in between DFoty Charlotte and Eslava down to the river. A grant of land so close to the fort as this would naturally be subject to suspicion, especially as, so late as November 22, 1806, the validity of sale of lots near the forts was considered unsettled."
