1670, two french missionaries, Dollier de Casson and Rene
de Brenhant de Galinee, planted a cross at Black Creek
to mark their sojourn there. It bore an inscription which
stated that the they and seven French man were the first

possession of the land in name of King Lous XIV of France,
as an occupied country, by attaching his arms to the foot
of the Cross. |
