Title
Jan 18, 1868 Testament Groslouis
Description
This document is a testament from Peter Grouslouis, a member of a local Metis family of some renown and influence in early western Oregon history, who signed a similar statement to Thorn’s, but on behalf of the groom, Narcisse Lavadour. In this instance, the word “Breed” is similarly placed in smaller letters above and centered between the words “half” and “Indian,” in the phrase “I am acquainted with Narcis Lavradore, a half [Breed] Indian man of Douglas County, State of Oregon that he is over the age of twenty-one years and there is no legal impediment to his contracting marriage as I verily Believe.” Peter’s statement was witnessed by J. P. Ransom, Justice of Peace on January 18th, 1868.
