Peter, I looked so far can not locate birth.....for your Cadotte. I will keep my eyes open for you in the future. However, I am not sure if you are aware I did find in 1860 Census for Rockland, Ontonagon, MI at the Minesota Mine. In the household of Thomas Adams listed is an Angelique Cadotte aged 78 Seamstress and Charlotta Cadotte 38 yrs. old. If you are interested in the all the people listed in household it goes as follows: Thomas Adams 40 ore drifter Ireland Ann Adams 30 Ireland Thomas 7 Canada William Brawden 27 Mining laborer Ireland Angelique Cadotte 78 Seamstress Mich Charlotta Cadotte 38 Seamstress Mich Peter Nagle 7 Mich Perhaps the wrong Cadotte family you are seeking, perhaps someone else is looking for them and hopefully this will help them out.

Hi All Came across the following and thought it maight be of interest to a few. There is a lot more excellent reading on this page and several more names like Couvillion, Miller. http://www.nps.gov/sacn/hrs/hrs1j.htm Whiskey was an important commodity at all trading posts but the whiskey shops of men like Samuels and Covillion in particular were the scenes of many degrading and deadly spectacles. Bad liquor sold with no restraint led to trouble at Alexander Livingston's grog shop on the St. Croix at the mouth of Wolf Creek. Livingston, who may have operated in cooperation with the veteran fur trader and whiskey dealer Joseph R. Brown, was gunned down in 1849 after a "drunken melee in his own store." Livingston died of his wound, while his killer, a Metis named Robido, escaped prosecution. Another whiskey dealer to die as a result of his own greed was Miles Tornell, a Norwegian operating near Balsam Lake. Tornell refused to back down in the face of competition from a German-American whiskey dealer, a man identified only as Miller, who operated a post on the lake. The German resolved the competition by hiring a Chippewa to murder Tornell. When the crime was detected, the Indian was executed, while Miller was merely flogged. In 1847, one of Samuels' subordinates, Henry Rust, was killed in a brawl with a drunken Chippewa, Notin. Unlike most such cases this one came to trial. The verdict reflected the outrage many early settlers felt toward the whiskey traders. Notin was found not guilty and a criminal complaint was issued against Jake Drake, the Samuels employee who sold Rust his stock of booze. Drake himself fell victim to foul play shortly thereafter, an inebriated Metis slew him near his Wood Lake post.
