	1831 Report of Deane and Kavanagh on the Madawaska Settlement
		It provided that the River St.John, from the point where it is intersected by the north line from the source of the St. Croix to the mouth of the St. Francis, should form a part of the international boundary.
		On their return up the river to D'Aigle's Island they were employed but five days in investigating the state of settlement, along what is now the New Brunswick side of the river, and gathering data concerning the settlers on some 220 locations.
		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."

	St. John River, New Brunswick
		The St. John in its upper reaches is slim and graceful, a delicate band through fields and forests, and it looks quiet until you come to Grand Falls where suddenly you see the power of it.
		One of the beauties of the St. John at the moment is that few American small-boat owners seem to know about it; if they did the stream would be crowded with craft from half the Eastern States, for there is no river on the continent more suited to pleasure boats than this.
		Canada is moving into the lower St. John, just as French Canadians have been steadily moving into the upper reaches of the river, and the power techniques of modern Canada are producing electrical energy from the stream sufficient for dozens of factories.

		With regard to the second church which, on the St. John River, held the title of "Saint Jean", we have to proceed further up the river, to Medoctek (four miles southeast of the present Meductic, in York County, on the right hand side of the river, bordering Carleton County).
		Nothing was heard of this bell for many years, until two Abenakis who were in Madawaska on a hunting expedition, heard the sound of a bell which they recognized as that of the one which had belonged to their old church.
