Note: Both Romain Guiddery and Marie Comeau were confirmed in the Roman Catholic Church (the ‘c’ beside their names indicates ‘confirmed’). Note that the 'oblit' next to Marie Elizabeth Guiddery means 'deceased'; however, this must be an error in this case as Marie Elizabeth Guiddery was in Grand Isle, Maine in the 1880.

In the 1833 New Brunswick Special Census of Madawaska Settlement, Romain Goodrie is listed with his wife, two sons and two daughters. Although no one, except Romain, is named, they would be Marie Comeau (wife), Calais Guédry and Joseph Gatien Guédry (sons) and Marie Elizabeth Guédry and Marie Guédry (daughters). Romain Guédry is called Romain Goodrie in the census. He has no horses, four oxen, one cow, no young cattle, seventeen sheep and nine pigs. He has twelve tons of hay cut and has sown last spring twenty bushels of wheat, no bushels of barley, eight bushels of oats, one-half bushel of buckwheat, two bushels of peas and forty-two bushels of potatoes. He raised thirty bushels of wheat, no bushels of barley, twenty bushels of oats, no bushels of buckwheat, no bushels of peas and one hundred fifty bushels of potatoes. His crop of wheat was considered bad in production while his crop of oats was considered good in production. Romain and his family were living on ungranted land on the right (south) bank of the St. John River which is in Aroostook County, Maine today.13757
