Notes:
From the book, La famille Doiron (Gould): Isidore is the ancestor of most of the Doiron/Gould families of Nappan and Amherst. The Nappan Census of 1827 tells us there were eight persons in the house of Gedore Gould. He was a fairly prosperous farmer. He had 80 cultivated acres with a harvest of 25 bushels of wheat and 100 bushels of other grains, 85 tons of hay and 1600 bushels of potatoes. His farm included 5 horses, 40 horned beasts, 25 sheep and 13 pigs. It is probably that some of his children lived with him and served as domestics. Many of his children, like him, lived to an old age. - translation done by A.Owen, Apr2015
Misc:
"Another veteran who escaped the New England was Zedore Gould, an Acadian who lived at the Gasperaux River, near Fort Gasperaux. He fled through the forest and made his way, with others, to a secluded spot on the Miramichi River. There he and his kind survived until the general surrender four years later, when Gould chose to still keep out of the English clutches... Gould, after years of wandering, ventured to Minoudie and became an industrious tenant of Governor DesBarres"
