Marion and Elizabeth Mario Marion, (Ne Beaufait) during the summer of 1920. This is the original log house that stood on the banks of the River Rouge, known as Private Claim 569on which a Patent was issues by President John Quincy Adams on the Twenty-first day of March 1827. It was then occupied by Charles Campau and Archange Campau, his wife, (Ne Beaubien) after Jean Baptiste Campau and Archange Campau (Ne Lassilen Dit Possion) had originally occupied same. This house was later moved from the River Rouge to the front part of Private Claim 45 (also known as P.C. 11) facing on the River Road (now Jefferson Avenue West). It was maintained as a farm an orchard adjoining to the east. Subsequently the house and big barn were razed and the property remained vacant for some years. In 1935 the City of Detroit instituted legal action to secure these properties for a Sewage Disposal Plant, which action was terminated in the City's favor. From these proceedings the City left 14 acres of P.C. 569 bordering on the River Rouge which they did not desire. Adolph Nazarre Marion, my Father, passed on January 21, 1938.
