2, is a census of Detroit itself, taken in 1773 by Philip Dejean, justice of the peace.
According to this there were 1,367 souls, of whom 85 were slaves; they dwelt in 280 houses, with 157 barns, and owned 1,494 horned cattle, 628 sheep, and 1,067 hogs.

Acre is used as a measure of length; their united farms had a frontage of 512, and went back from 40 to 80.

Some of the people, it is specified, were not enumerated because they were out hunting or trading at the Indian villages.

Besides the slaves, there were 93 servants.
This only refers to the settlers of Detroit proper, and the farms adjoining.

Of the numerous other farms, and the small villages on both sides of the straits, and of the many families and individuals living as traders or trappers with the Indians, I can get no good record.
