Renunciation - Dn. Thomas Estevan, husband of Maria Rivas, declares:
That since his wife had to be with her aged parents in the District of 
Iberville, and that he could not be with her until circumstances would permit 
him; that he possessed land in said District and that his wife had purchased 
it with money which was contrived in his marriage with her; and that he 
renounces to her whatever rights he has in the property, so that his relatives 
might not claim any part should he fail to be there; therefore, his wife 
posseses the whole of: A plantation of four arpents of land of front with the 
depth of forty, neighboring to that of her father, with four slaves, ****.
