In the 1833 New Brunswick Special Census of Madawaska Settlement, Jean Anselme Guedry is listed with his wife. Although only Jean Anselme Guedry is named, his wife was Suzanne Violette. Jean Anselme Guédry is called Samuel Goodrie in the census. He has one horses, no oxen, two cows, no young cattle, seven sheep and two pigs. He has one ton of hay cut and has sown last spring eight bushels of wheat, no bushels of barley, three bushels of oats, one bushel of buckwheat, one bushel of peas and twelve bushels of potatoes. He raised twelve bushels of wheat, no bushels of barley, twenty bushels of oats, eight bushels of buckwheat, one bushel of peas and thirty bushels of potatoes. His crop of wheat and of oats were considered bad in production while his crop of oats was considered middling in production and his crop of buckwheat was good. Jean Anselme and his wife were living on ungranted land on the right (south) bank of the St. John River which is in Aroostook County, Maine today.14327

In the 1840 U. S. Census the family of Jean Anselme Guédry (called Samuel Jiddry) had two males that were 30-40 years old, five males that were 0-5 years old, one female that was 40-50 years old, one female that was 20-30 years old, three females that were 5-10 years old and one female that was 0-5 years old. These probably refer to Jean Anselme Guédry and an unknown man living with the family (30-40 years old males), Joseph Guédry, Alexander Guédry, Hilaire Guédry, possibly Urbain Guédry and one unknown boy living with the family (0-5 years old males), an unknown woman (40-50 year old female), Suzanne Violette (20-30 year old female), three unknown girls living with the family (5-10 year old females) and Martine Guédry (0-5 year old female).14326

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 August 1844 Surveyor James Duncan Graham determined that Romain Guedry owned Lot 231, a River Lot of 194.12 acres, at Grand Isle Plantation in Township 18, Range 3 and that Jean Anselme Guedry owned Lot 232, also a River Lot of 92.86 acres, at Grand Isle Plantation in Township 18, Range 3. Also, Romain Guedry owned Lot 27, an Island Lot of 4.59 acres, at Grand Isle Plantation in Township 18, Range 3. Romain and Anselme Guedry obtained ownership of their land based on having ungranted claims that they possessed and improved since before August 1836. The survey was done in accordance with the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842 that settled the disputed border between the United States and Canada in the St. John River valley.13776

The Census taken of St. Mary Parish by Father Sigogne in 1818-1820 gives a birth date of 27 Dec 1806 for Jean Anselme Guedry13742,13760; however, the 1850 U. S. Census states that he was 40 years old in 1850 and thus born about 1810.14394 Also, the 1860 U. S. Census states that he was 50 years old in 1860 and thus born about 1810.14330 Additionally, the 1880 U. S. Census states that he was 70 years old and thus born about 1810.14332 Since Father Sigogne's Census was much closer in time to his actual birth and the information likely was obtained from his parents and Father Sigogne's own knowledge, it is likely to be more correct than information provided orally over 40 years after his birth. The date being used, therefore, as the birthdate of Jean Anselm Guedry is 27 Dec 1806.
