[1] Agathe came to notice after she successfully made a claim to Canadian land based on her grandfather's rights.
The governor Richard Griffiths had decided to re-organise the existing grants of land that had been made in Nova Scotia.
Her family had inherited shares in substantial lands from a grant made to them in 1703 by the French king.
Despite the doubts of Griffiths, the Board of Trade ruled in her favour and they decreed that she should be paid £2,000 in exchange for her rights to the lands.
William Popple of the Board of Trade noted that she was not well and paid her in 1734 to avoid having to negotiate with her children following her death.
