[7 April 1671]

   Upon petition to this house made by Ignatius Causin to be
naturalized of this Province  Upon debate of the Matter It
appeared that the said Igantius was the Son of Nicholas Causin
a Subject of the Crown of France born at the House of his said
Father in St. Georges River in this Province of an English
Mother that the Lands Claimed by the said Nicholas were only
Surveyed in the life time of the said Nicholas And since his
Death Pattented by the said Ignatius  Whereupon this house
do declare that the said Ignatius is by his Lordships Charter 
free Denizen of the Kingdom of England And by Consequence
as to his Person needs no Naturalization being born here And
as to the Lands said to descend from the Father this House
do further declare that the Certificate of Survey was only a
Chattel real of which his Mother an English Woman was
seized & made over to him the said Ignatius in right of which
he obtained an Original Grant from the Proprietary & so holds
nothing by descent from the Proprietary his Father but is to
all Intents & purposes One of the Natural born people of this
Province and hath as much Security for his Lands as any other
Person in this Province now hath or the Rt. honble the Lord
Propry can Grant
                  John Rousby Clk of the Assembly
