1815 LA POINTE, MADELEINE ISLAND LAKE SUPERIOR

(VI)-Louis Garneau also Gournon, Gornor, Gournon, Gornow, Gurnoe and Gaunaux Metis is born 1790, Wisconsin, most likely La Pointe, Madeline Island, Lake Superior died October 21, 1863 Sault Ste Marie, Michigan.  He is of 50% Mixed Blood being the son of Monsieur Garneau or (V)-Jean Baptiste Garneau born 1762 and Se Gaunaux (So-Way-Guay) as per 1854 treaty script No. 31C.  Theresa Schenck suggests the Sault Ste Marie records list his death as October 21, 1863 age 74.  Court records of July 5, 1890 suggests his death is 1865.  The father of Louis has not been verified and the quest continues.

Married about 1815 at La Pointe, Wisconsin to a Say-shaw-ne-nie  born 1800 Canada daughter Se Ranze of La Pointe and she is still unable to read or write in 1850. Louis is living Sault Ste Marie in 1854.  (also see 1809)

(VI)-Louis Genereau treaty No. 1080 also selected land under Michigan treaty of July 31, 1855.  The land selected is section 18, township 15, range 16 W79 meaning west 79 acres in Michigan.  This land claim is amended to read W79-63 meaning a 63 foot frontage and recorded under treaty No. 1080 (VI)-Louis Generareaur.  Under treaty No 1080 Se Garnie (Say-shaw-ne-nie) (f) selected E 1/2 section 7, township 42, range 1 802.89 meaning 802 acres with a frontage of 89 feet in Michigan.

A third marriage about (1820) (1824) or 1827-28 to (V)-Archange Cadotte b-1798.  Louis third marriage about 1824 to a (V)-Archange Cadotte alias Julia Nolan born 1798 is listed in 1854 treaty script No. 40 and No. 119 according to testimony of (7)-Joseph Gurnoe in 1870. She is the daughter of (IV)-Jean Baptiste Cadotte born 1761 and Marie Janette Piquette (Saugemauqua) who died about 1850. July 23, 1827 census of Townshiop St. Marie County Chippewa taken from Indian traders and licences at Sault Ste Marie lists Louis Gurno and wife with three children under twenty one years. Theresa Schenck suggests, based on the Detroit baptismal records, that this marriage must have taken place about 1824. The 1836 census supports this contention.  We are likely dealing with a country marriage vs. a church marriage.  The court records of July 5, 1890 suggests the marriage to Archange Cadotte occured in 1820. 

EVENTS

1809 First marriage Angelique Defoe, an Ojibwa marriage likely not recognized by the church. Children recorded are:
   Isabella Cota nee Gurnoe , Frank Gurnoe , Louis Gurnoe, Joseph Gurnoe, source July 5, 1890 Circuit Court

1830 Louis Garneau and wife are nationalized Americans in Monroe County, Michigan during 1830 census.  Both ages listed as 20 to 30 range.
