Nowhere in any of these Census Records do I fine Damas & Margurite Powers Gagnon with a daughter named Elizabeth or Eliza or Lisa Gagnon. However, I do fine that Thomas and Damase are brothers and that Damase means Thomas in the English laugage and that Thomas and Bibianne have a daughter Elizabeth. On Raymond and Liza (Elizabeth) Gagnon Page marriage record her parents are listed as Thomas Gagnon and Bibian Michaud. Raymond's parents are listed as Raymond Page & Catherine Gosselin. Raymond is a widower, farmer and Roman Catholic. Raymond is age 54 and Liza is age 17 and that they married on 22 May 1892. Witneses are Andrew Levesque of St. Leonard and Josephine Fourier of St. Leonard and that they were married by M. A. O'Keeffe, Priest by Banns.

Michel and Charlotte Charette Gagnon gave birth to their first son Hilaire Gagnon born at St-Louis Kamouraska on June 6, 1830.Between 1830 and 1831 we find them at Ste-Luce Frenchville,Maine were a daughter was born on December 18, 1831 namedCeleste Gagnon, and was baptized at St-Basile, N.B.. They hadmoved to Ste-Luce Frenchville to be with Michel's half brotherProsper Prisque Gagnon who lived there. On Febuary 22, 1834another daughter was born at St. Bruno in Van Buren, Maine nameMarie and baptized at St-Basile, N.B.. So Between 1831 and 1834Michel and his family moved to Van Buren, Maine and Damas wasborn there on Febuary 3, 1838 and baptized in St-Basile, N.B..Between 1838 & 1840 we fine Michel and his family in Woodvillenow St. Andre, N.B. for in 1840 a son was born on Febuary 16,1840 at Grand Falls, N.B. name David Gagnon and baptized in VanBuren, Maine. The remaining seven children where all born andbaptized at Van Buren, Maine. Their names where Hubert,Alexandre, Demerise, Joseph, Michel, Pierre and Thomas.

On September 20, 1884, Michel and Charlotte Gagnon were granteda parcel of land in Colebrook East lot number 31 and 32, whichcontain 68 acres. The oldest son Hilaire Gagnon was alsogranted lot number 170 which contain 100 acres in little riversettlement (Date not known), also on the same road is DamasGagnon who was granted a parcel of land which was 100 acres lotnumber 184 on August 10, 1869, which to this day is still own bya descendant. It seem to acquire a land grant first they had toclear parts of the land suitable for farming, I do not know howbig or how much of the land or how much time the goverment wouldgive them.
