	1831 Report of Deane and Kavanagh on the Madawaska Settlement
		Of the Acadian founders of Madawaska the Cormiers, Cyrs, Daigles, and Heberts came from Beaubassin at the head of the Bay of Fundy, the Martins from Port Royal, the Mercures and Therriaults from L'Isle Saint-Jean (or Prince Edward Island), the Violettes from Louisburg and the Mazerolles from Rivière Charlesbourg."
		The survey's purpose was to count the inhabitants of Madawaska settlements, but also to gather claims to land these people held, and how they had obtained the land.
		Thus the survey is very interesting not only because it is a virtual head of household census, as well as a survey of land holdings, but it also gives an account of the state of the land, improvements, etc. In addition, the survey provides information on the origins of the settlers.

	1840 US Census, Aroostook, Maine: Madawaska Settlements
		Madawaska North of the St. John River is an area that today is part of New Brunswick.
		The section of the census that is under "Madawaska North of the St.John River" covers communities running from across the river from Hamlin, Maine, to the St. Francis River.
		In the two Madawaska divisions, the vast majority of people were employed in agriculture; only 5 were not, and all five were listed under "learned professions and engineers." My guess is that all five were school teachers, since the census identifies five schools (listed under specific names; probably the teachers).

	Maine Office of Tourism - Madawaska
		“Madawaska” was derived from an Iroquois word, which literally means “Land of the Porcupine.” French Acadians settled here in 1785 after being forced to flee Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island because they would not pledge allegiance to the British Crown.
		The adjacent Tante Blanche Museum, named for a Madawaska woman whose legendary acts of kindness helped the community survive a 1797 famine, preserves the history and heritage of the settlers.
		The majority of Madawaska’s residents are of Acadian descent, and French is still spoken here — with a little Quebecois and English thrown into the mix.
