Re: The Settlement of the St John River Valley
Thanks, great find! Here is a chapter in a book about settlement in the St. John River valley. I scanned it quickly and it seems to be very general history without much mention of any names of individuals. Still there may be some info of value in it. http://archive.org/stream/cihm_00811#page/169/mod...

1829 list of Madawaska "sufferers" / bad harvest
In the late 1820s the Madawaska Settlement suffered poor harvests. As a result, by the summer of 1829 parts of the population were facing starvation. The New Brunswick provincial government sent Thomas Baillie, Surveyor General, to the settlement where he found a dire situation. He had a list drawn ...

Amable's parents discovered!
The parentage of Amable Ouellet, my g-g-g grandfather, has long been a mystery. Because he and his wife Esther Gardner were married in a Protestant church, which usually did not include the names of the parents of the bride and groom in marriage records, we don't have the usual source of parentage f...

Some of the mystery of David Gardner is resolved.
He is from Scotland, served in the British military in different places. He was sent to Quebec with a military regiment, and ended up settling there.
For all the details go to my page on David Gardner and his wife Elizabeth Forrester.
