Thanks for all the answers to my Pays de Haut question. The person I am looking for is Sarah Kissiokowa, mother of Charlotte Auger (born 1776) and wife of Pierre Auger. Charlotte married Jean Baptiste Gouin in Sept. 18, 1852 at St. Gabriel De Brandon, Que. The Pay de Haut appears on their church marriage record after her mothers name. Yes, this is the correct date for their marriage in the church, they had to wait until Jean Baptiste's first wife died before they could get married in the church. Another odd thing is on the 1851 census Charlotte is listed as being born in OHIO, also one son but the others are all born Que. I have been looking all over for Sarah. Any ideas are certainly welcome. I went to a Pow Wow in Michigan and talked to an Indian man from Oka and he said there was a tribe that called themselves High country People but he didn't think any were still alive. Also my grandfather was born in St. Michel de Saints but said at that time it was called Mattawa. Thanks Jan Gouin > > > Food for thought.
